Hello and welcome to our forum, I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing pain in your leg bones, this is something that a lot of people with MPNs do suffer from, you should speak to your GP about some pain relief. I am sorry but I don't understand your statement about PV being related to sexual activities, please can you explain what you are asking. Maz
