Some people with AML have bone pain or joint pain caused by the buildup of leukemia cells in these areas.
AML involves the body producing too many nonfunctioning, immature white blood cells called blasts. They crowd out the useful cells, leading to a range of symptoms and complications. Acute leukemia develops suddenly, while chronic leukemia lasts for a long time and progresses gradually.
