Yes indeed let your doctor know.
I sleep on my left side most of the time and I do get shoulder pains a lot too. Plus if I lift up my arms it hurts for a period then goes away.

Talk with your doctor. My arms is where MM was found in the bones.

I would have considered a clinical trial earlier on when diagnosed but after going through all the chemo in the initial treatment and then stem cell transplant with melphalan at age 70 stage 3 and all the damages the cancer has done to my bones thus far plus side effects of chemo drugs on the rest of my body I am a wee bit afraid to push my body to go through a trial right now.
My immune system is shot and needs rebuilding and blood counts are low. I think I’ll leave trials to a stronger healthier person who feels they can withstand more of this treatment. Knowing when to fold them is very important.
