My father is detected with a positive CML and is also on the medicine named Imatinib through a prescription of a doctor. Although earlier there was only headache but since previous 2 days he has been experiencing extreme fatigue and pain in the legs. Is this normal in the treatment for CML or do we need to consult a doctor for this. He has also occasionally experienced problems in urinating as well as he says that he has to apply a force for the urine. Is this related to CML or we need to consult a Urology doctor for that ?

Fatigue and bodyache can be due to imatinib.But if it is extreme you need to consult your oncologist.Also the urinary issue appears unrelated to CML but your oncologist after proper evaluation can guide you whether you need urology referral or not.

That is a very pertinent question. The cramp and fatigue is due to Imatinib. However I am not sure what problem he is having urinating. That may not be due to Imatinib. In case you want to discuss further you can consult online.
