AML and pain

Hi, my mother's mds has just progressed to AML (or we just got the diagnosis). Just before diagnosis, she was receiving neupogen shots, which were causing moderate to severe bone and joint pain. The shots were stopped over a week ago and much of the pain subsided, but, she is now experiencing excrutiating pain in one knee/leg. She had the knee xrayed and a doppler to rule out dvt, both tests were negative. It just seems odd that she wouldn't have the pain in all bones/joints. Has anyone heard of localized pain like this? Thanks for any help.
