Hi All,

My husband is suffering so bad with pain in left buttock and no pain relief touching it. So distressing watching him in the pain. You feel so alone with no help. And night time always  seems worst

. Any ideas or tips appreciated. Had spinal and lung surgery recently. Myeloma treatment no started yet.

Thank you 

  • Hi  and welcome to this corner of the Community although I am always sorry to see folks joining us. I am Mike and I help out around our various blood cancer groups. I don’t have Myeloma but I noticed that your post had not received a reply so just wanted to touch base with you.

    It sounds like your husband is indeed having a challenging time. When it comes to pain control you do need to keep talking with his medical professionals as there are various levels of pain control meds available that may well help so do call this in for advise.

    Lets look for some of the group members to pick up on your post. You can also look through the various posts (hit the main group name and scroll down) and as always you can hit reply and ask some questions and see if the member is looking in.

    The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear. You may also find our Ask an Expert section helpful but do allow a few working days for a reply.

    To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers check our Online Information and Support Section

    Talking to people face to face can be very helpful but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre in your area as these folks are amazing.

    Always around to help more or just to chat
