Hi Suzieq: I don't know how old you are, but I have had a lot of the same problems and had some before Gleevec, but not that bad. I used a cane once in a while, and am now in a wheel chair. I did try pain management, and it worked for a while, and then stopped. I can get up and use a walker, but not for long. I can only stand for a few minutes. It's difficult, but I am not going to have surgery at my age. I'm 73 now. I don't do well with surgeries. I am no longer on Gleevec as it stopped working for me. I'm on Tasigna, and have no visible side effects, but we all know that it does things to our body. What's the alternative though. I'm just happy to know that you are on a lower dosage and doing so well on it. I will keep you in my prayers. I'm also non-detectable and my doctor won't lower the dosage as it took me years to reach this. I never did on Gleevec and was on 800 mg. when I had to go off. Take care....Blessings, Millie
