Hello Kris4,
During the 2-year interval in which I went from Smoldering MM to MM requiring treatment, at one point I suffered excruciating lower back pain. OTC pain meds did nothing to address the pain. I complained to my general oncologist who prescribed a Fentanyl transdermal patch. It worked! I found an oncologist who specialized in MM. He found that I had 2 compression fractures of my spine. Has your oncologist X-rayed your spine? Or done a CAT scan? Please find a MM SPECIALIST. MM is a fairly rare and complex condition. Although there's no cure, it's treatable. I've lived with it for 14 years. Best wishes.

Hi Kris4: Let your Primary, Specialists & Oncology know. Call them &/or send a message to them on your hospital "My Chart" for an urgent appt. or referral, or go to ER/ED or Urgent Care. You should not suffer unnecessarily. I hope they can help as soon as possible. ❤️🤔

Kris,
A MM Specialist is a Hematologist or Oncologist who only treats MM patients. I’m hoping that is who you are seeing. MM is too complicated and needs a MM Specialist. I had some of your symptoms. I started with MGUS and could not walk very far (1 block). I thought it was from the MGUS but it was my heart or a combination. MM can affect the kidneys and if you have a heart condition, that too affects the kidneys, which can cause a backache. I ended up having a heart attack. I also have severe osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. I had severe pain, which I have controlled with Curcumin, calcium and magnesium supplements and D3 & K2 supplements. Have you had a CT Scan? I think that would help diagnose your issues with your bones. Most people bear the pain as long as they can and then end up in the ER. It’s better to deal with it now. I also take nutritional yeast with a glass of dairy and a teaspoon of unsulphered blackstrap molasses. I’m trying to keep from getting anemic. So far it is working. Keep me posted.💕
