I Was Diagnoised With MGUS And Anemia In April Of 2023, My Anemia Is Not From Low Iron Or B12. The Cause Is Unknown-64 Yr Old Retired Female
I see my Primary Care Doctor and a Hematologist/Oncologist. My numbers have stayed the same, but I have had symptoms from the beginning that have bothered me. And in the last 4-5 months my lower back is very painful and some days I have trouble even moving. (I have a history of arthritis in my lower back but it has never felt like this) Also I have shoulder pain that radiates down my arm. I also can't walk more than a block without getting very short of breath. Not sure what to do

I'm currently using growth factor shots and getting infusions for platelets/hemoglobin, but I'm wondering about other options to increase platelets and Erythropoietin for hemoglobin. Thanks for your responses. I'm in a bit of a panic! :(
