Hi @huronshores, You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about Essention Thrombocythemia and the side effects of hydroxyurea. I'm tagging fellow members @shenriq @misty45 @kroolivera @esperanzam @susanellis @pearly @claire39 @mjpm2406 and @texastee59 to if they have experienced joint and bone pain while taking hydroxyurea.
The article by Mayo Clinic lists lower back or side pain as a common side effect and joint pain as a rare effect.

Huronshores, have your doctors linked the bursitis and hip and leg pain to the medication? Might there be other contributing causes?

Good morning huronshores.......I have been taking Hydrea for almost two years and have back and joint pain that was existing before I was diagnosed, so I believe the pain is from arthritis. I take yellow cbd oil for sciatic pain, which works like magic, so maybe it is helping with joint pain as well. I wish you well with your journey with E T. I also have jak2 and myloproliferative neoplasm

There has not been a connection made. However, the Bursitis problem is one that
I have not experienced before in my almost 80 years. I am just asking to see if anyone
else has experienced this.
