Bone muscles and joint pain
I have been experiencing bone, muscle and joint pain that occurs intermittently throughout the day very much like fever aches and pains, also I'm not sure whether I'm having low grade fever or not. This is continuously going on for 2-3 weeks now. I also have a swollen lymph node in neck and dry cough that only occurs at night. Is it a symptom of leukemia? Also does leukemia cause this kind of intermittent pain? Pls reply. I'm scared
