Hi jackkat1234

We had a similar discussion earlier today- I think this reply has several links that can help you: healthunlocked.com/cllsuppo...

In general anything mentioned about myalgia and arthralgia on any BTK, whether ibrutinib / Imbruvica, acalabrutinib / Calquence or zanubrutinib / Brukinsa can be applied to your question.

I found ice packs to be helpful. We bought a refreezable ice pack that can be wrapped around legs/arms etc and really works. Just wrap it in a towel to protect the skin. The recommended interval is 20 minute sessions with an hour between sessions.

The salonpas pain patches are good too.

I resolved these issues by reduced dosing once my bloods normalised. Been on 140mg/day for the last 4 years with no issues. I believe that the blanket dosage of 420mg/day irrespective of patient/disease status is too much for many who only need a maintenance dose. Just my take. Good luck.
