I'm sorry to hear about your husband's pain. Here are some options based on the knowledge base:

- Radiation Therapy: This can target specific osteolytic lesions to reduce pain.
- Medications: Bisphosphonates can help strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
- Pain Management: A multidisciplinary approach involving pain management specialists, hematologists, oncologists, and other healthcare providers is recommended.
- Surgical Options: Procedures like kyphoplasty can reinforce fractured bones with bone cement.
- Avoid Self-Medication: It's important to avoid self-medicating, especially with high doses of over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen, as they can cause kidney problems.

Consulting with his medical team to tailor a treatment plan is crucial.
