Recovery time for core muscles after radiation, compression fracture treatment, and broken ribs due to multiple myeloma (MM) can vary based on several factors, including the severity of the damage, the specific treatments received, and individual health conditions. Here are some key points to consider:

- Radiation Therapy: Recovery from radiation can take several weeks to months. The side effects of radiation, such as fatigue and muscle weakness, may gradually improve over time.
- Compression Fracture Treatment: Procedures like kyphoplasty can provide immediate pain relief, but full recovery and strengthening of core muscles can take several months.
- Broken Ribs: Healing from broken ribs typically takes about 6 weeks, but regaining full strength and function can take longer, especially with concurrent treatments for MM.

Given your diagnosis on June 6, 2024, and remission since the end of August, it is still relatively early in your recovery process. Continuing with maintenance therapy like Darzalex shots and upcoming T-cell treatment in November will also play a role in your overall recovery timeline.

It's essential to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for physical therapy and exercise to safely rebuild your core muscles. Always consult with your medical team for personalized advice and timelines.
