Essential Thrombocythemia: Looking for information and support

Hi. I'm asking another question. I had a bone marrow aspiration and biopsy performed to have a baseline established. This was nearly 2 weeks ago, and my hip is still bothering me. I have difficulty, especially first thing in the morning with supporting myself on that leg. Is this normal? Will the pain eventually go away?

I would follow up with heme/onc MD. My pain cleared up in a few days. Hope you feel better.

This is pretty normal - I had pain in that area for about a month - after first and second biopsy, I have ET /Chronic MPF/pre fibrotic myelofibrosis - platelets are 893, on 75mg Aspirin and 500mg HU this is my 6th day on HU. Feeling very disoriented and spaced out had a headache last night. Each day is different at the moment I guess my body is getting used to HU.
Good luck!
