I have night pains in my knees and lower legs especially when in bed. I do have ET but only take low dose aspirin. Started a couple of years before my diagnosis. Doc doesn’t think the pain is from ET. It may originate from back area, he thinks.

Thank you for your comment. I also have especially at night in bed. During the day I have back pain, not at night. sigh....as Bette Davis says "Growing old isn't for sissies"

Just a thought: Did you ever have a bone marrow biopsy to look at fibrosis in marrow?

I wish people stopped using short cuts. Many times I have no idea what they mean.
I fell a couple of weeks ago while using a walker and I fractured my lower back compression disc and another disc.
The pain is still there but I can better handle it. It only hurts when I twist it.
I have to use a cane especially outside.
I can’t believe how much falling hurts. I’m no spring chicken so I just landed flat against the floor and wall. Be careful everyone
