    I have had the leg pain you describe from the vincristine. It did get better after treatment stopped. The last 2 rounds my onc deleted the vincristine. Try magnesium supplements for the cramps if it's ok with your onc. Also for a test, try putting a cheap bar of soap between the sheets of your bed near your feet. I work with a couple people who swear by it. I personally have not tried it, but the magnesium did a little bit. It just took time. Take care, it will get better.

    I see several of you also deal with leg pain. i am a 1 year NHL high grade bcell survivor and am having a horible time with leg pain. I am a PE teacher still only able to work part time because of the pain. Dr's say they have no idea what it is from. Any thoughts?

    hi, I am a nhl patient still in remission for 4yrs now, the leg pain's for me are a form of nuerapathy, I get a burning tingling like bugs crawling up my legs and sometimes it feels like I am being bitten by ants. get some stop pain at your local walgreens it is around $13.00 a bottle but it works. It also works for nasty leg cramps as well. good luck and blessings

    pain in the legs
    Yes I have pain in the muscles above knees in both the legs. I have stated taking supplementary calcium (500 mg) daily since the second chemo cycle in Jan 2010 but the pain persists. Now I am on maintenance Rituximab therapy and will be taking 5th maintenance cycle in next month.
