Leg pain is a fairly common side effect of Gleevec. Calcium supplements have helped some patients who have had this.   http://www.oncolink.upenn.edu/treatment/article.cfm?c=2&s=10&id=207   Rob   ----- Original Message ----- From: eagledove605 To: CML@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 6:16 PM Subject: [CML] Pain in legs, Help!      I'm experiencing severe pain in my legs.
