Back pain in patients with leukemia is rare and it is not possible to tell if it is leukemia regardless of how long the back pain lasts.
Patients with back pain need to seek medical attention in a timely manner. If leukemia is suspected, the diagnosis can be confirmed by a bone marrow aspiration and bone marrow biopsy in the hematology department. The type of leukemia can also be further clarified by special cellular biochemical staining and chromosome examination. If the bone marrow tests reveal an increase in naive cells, up to 50%-90%, the diagnosis of leukemia can be confirmed in terms of the severity of the disease. And the clinical symptoms of leukemia are mostly bone and joint pain, especially in the early stage of the disease is more obvious, about 1/4 of the patients to the long bones of the limbs and shoulder, knee, wrist, ankle and other joint pain as the first symptoms, while lumbago is less common. Patients with long-term low back pain may also be due to other conditions such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar muscle strain, and can go to the orthopedic department of the hospital for examination to clarify the diagnosis.
In addition, patients with low back pain should pay attention to proper bed rest, prevent overexertion, and prevent wind and cold invasion. If the pain seriously affects life, you can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics for pain relief as prescribed by the doctor.
