I hurt all the time. My knees, ankles, and my neck hurt the most.

I was only on 500 MG hydroxyurea, to keep my hematocrit below 45, and got the bone pain, now that I'm off hydroxyurea, if my hematocrit goes over 45, I have to have blood drawn. But at least the bone pains more or less gone.

Yes I get bone pain, with my PV, not as bad now that my doctor, has stopped my hydroxyurea,

I'm on a 1000mg of Hydroxyurea. Keeps my hematocrit lower, so not as many phlebotomies, but doesn't help with the pain.
