johnnyclapp, chemotherapy for AML can cause osteoporosis. AML itself can cause raise uric acid levels, causing gouty arthritis in the joints. Imaging and bloodwork will help determine which medications will help.
I wonder if you would be offered teriparatide now that the counterindications have been lifted. Allopurinol might be prescribed if you have gouty arthritis.

If I don't take statins my cholesterol goes way over 200. I have tried every brand and get awful joint and muscle pain that I can hardly walk. I am 83 and usually can walk at least 2 miles a day. My cardiologist wants to put me on the new injectables has anyone tried them? I do have osteoarthritis so I'm sure that plays a part too.

gussie, I'm in the same situation, except that my cholesterol is over 400. This new cardiologist says that if one statin bothers your muscles they all will. I'm prescribes Repatha, but read about 7 days of stomach trouble with the bimonthly injection. I can't get interested. Let me know how it goes. Best wishes.
