Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some benign tumour or some other lesion related to your leukemia or its treatment. You should go for MRI spine to search for the cause. If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
