Myeloma back pain

Hi Elton and a warm welcome to this corner of the Community although I am sorry to see you joining us and hear about the journey you are on.

I am Mike and I help out around our various Blood Cancer groups. I don’t have Myeloma but I was diagnosed way back in 1999 with a rare, incurable but treatable type of Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Stage 4) so although my Blood Cancer ‘type’ is different I do appreciate the challenges of this journey rather well. From what I read on the various posts in the group bone pain is highlighted a lot.

Let's look for some of the group members to pick up on your post. There actually have been a few new members join recently so why not click on the main ‘Myeloma Group’ title and this will bring up all the group posts.

Have a look at them and as always you can hit reply to any post and see if the member is still using the community.

It’s a challenging time for you so you may want to use the Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00.

Hi Elton

sorry that you have developed bone pain, I am new here too. Currently on treatment and awaiting STC I have bone pain  I was diagnosed with myloma after an MRI showed a fracture in my spine so I have had radiotherapy for that 8 weeks ago it is a little better but they said it would take a while to improve I take morphine for pain relief. Some days are better than others, hopefully it will continue to get better. Hope you get your mri appointment quickly.

take care x

I have been recently diagnosed with IgG kappa Myeloma stage 1. I experience hip and lower back pain in my bones. I have some good days and bad days. I am four weeks into my chemo. I have also had a round of radiotherapy on a fractured rib to ease that a little.
