I was diagnosed with ITP over a year ago. Also had a bone marrow sample taken. Recently I have pain in various parts of my back. I'm paranoid :-( anyone have similar? Thanks

I am sorry to read that you are in pain. Living with pain is draining.

I have had continual pain in my back at the site of the biopsy for the past six years. I have been going to physical therapy for four(?) years now, and it helps, but the pain is never gone. I don't remember what it's like to be pain-free.

I hope you find a solution, and share it with us!

Yes, i had that problem. After my count came up to a safe number it stopped. Iron and magnesium helped.

I would recommend sitting in a hot tub if you have access to a local gym that has one. Let the spa jets pound on your back for 15 minutes. I have had back pain for other reasons and it has helped immensely.

thanks for this - I think that you are right. I will start with the at home bath - something I have never even used! Best wishes!

Sorry to hear about your pain. As a matter of fact, I feel aches and pain, too. I was wondering if other people are having similar feelings. My pain seems to wander to different parts of my body each new day. One day it's in my hips and another day in my lower back. I take Tylonel, and sometimes it helps.
