Sorry Roger this message was suppose to be for JoshepMillar. I hope it hasn’t caused you any stress. Like you I am in remission but (partial remission). I have the problem with my feet as well but not quite as bad as yours. All the best.

Hi Roger. I want to answer your question ever so gently. If you have mm you would be aware that it is cancerous. So any damage to your spine or elsewhere has been caused by the mm.

I had a tumor in my 1-3 ribs. A biopsy showed it was cancerous. Then a bone marrow biopsy later showed that I had MM

Multiple Myeloma cells cause abnormal breakdown of our bones. So yes they are cancerous. Thankfully, treatments for myeloma are very effective in getting the myeloma under control and stopping the bone damage.

Yes, bone lesions and tumors caused by multiple myeloma (MM) are cancerous. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells, and these cancer cells can grow into the skeletal bone, causing bone damage, painful tumors, or fractures. This can lead to the formation of osteolytic lesions, which are soft spots in the bones.
