Thank you to all who answered this question. I have tightness around my bra line too! I hate wearing one now and my armpits too get uncomfortable especially at night. Now I know it’s MM or steroid related. I have MGUS now so I know it’s not from treatment. My cousin who has MM said his neck got so tight he could barely open his mouth. Treatment helped him.

Yes!! I have that "band of pain"! I thought I was crazy. I have stopped telling anyone (except my husband) about it because no one has ever heard of it and no one knows what might cause it. I feel like I have a very tight band around me right where my bra normally goes. There are times it feels so tight, I think to myself that I need to take my bra off and I'm not even wearing one! I have a neurologist who is wonderful, but he's done every test and doesn't know what is causing this. I do take Cymbalta for neuropathy and it helps somewhat, but I still get this "band" of tightness/pain at least weekly. I also get a burning pain in my armpit - it all sounds so goofy until you have it and then you realize what a crazy disease this is. I have to believe it's some kind of neuropathy from chemo rather than a symptom of MM. I had it most intensely and all the time right after my SCT and for about 6 months. It has gotten progressively better, but has not gone away completely.

I have tightness like a rubber band more under my breast I can’t wear a bra very long but not numbness.

I am so glad you ask that question. My stomach bloats up very large and I feel that tight band right under my breast. Can’t stand to wear bra. To me it feels like when you are 9 mo pregnant and the you get that pressure under your ribs…
Thanks to all who answered . Guess just another thing we have to deal with having MM

Have had some bloating where I have used two tablespoons of Pepto and two tablets of GasEx and that seems to relieve it after about an hour. Also eat smaller portions and that seems to help as well.
