Hi I am smoldering. I agree it is not asymtomatic at all. I have been dealing with leg pain for close to two years and the itching for about a year. So far no lesions or tumors. I am being tested again next month and think I will ask for another bone scan. My right leg is definitely not getting better and the pain is daily as is the itching.

Thank you! No, I’ll look for it.

I agree!! It’s such a weird space. The watch and wait approach. I have anxiety every two months when I get my blood work. I have been close to needing treatment a couple times. It messes with your head!

Hi Sally,
There are a lot of people with Smoldering MM who think it should be called cancer. I was told by one doctor that cancer is defined as uncontrolled growth. I guess since we have a low level, we are still defined as pre-cancerous. With my symptoms, it feels like cancer.

@A MyMyelomaTeam Member,
The itching is probably from your kidneys. Drink lots of pure water with a slice of lemon. The leg pain could be from a plasmacytoma, but more likely from lack of Calcium. I’m taking 1200 MRM Bone Maximizer III, with extra D3, K2, vitamins A & E complex. It really helps.
