Low back pain in multiple myeloma (MM) can be caused by several factors:

- Vertebral Compression Fractures: Myeloma can cause vertebral compression fractures, leading to sudden, sharp back pain.
- Bone Lesions: Myeloma cells create bone lesions or osteolytic lesions, weakening the bone and causing pain.
- Spinal Collapse: Multiple vertebral fractures can lead to spinal collapse and spinal cord compression, resulting in pain.
- Kyphosis: Abnormal spine curvature due to fractures can contribute to chronic back pain.
- Tumors: Myeloma cells can form tumors on the bone, causing pressure and pain on spinal nerves.

These factors disrupt daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life.
