My back hurts and legs

Hi Darryl. I agree, your back pain needs to be evaluated

Thank you so much

Darryl, I know exactly how you feel. I was MGUS for 2 years also. Maybe more but that is when my Oncologist said “you are MGUS”. I am now smoldering. I had bone biopsy and now at 10%.
Yes, I had bone pain in hips and back for all 3 years. Presently working with Pain medicine doctor. I did have MRI also to check for lesions and other things and that came up negative.
Definitely pursue those tests to make sure. I had lung cancer 5 years ago so my Oncologist ordered a Pet Scan to make sure nothing else is going on. That was negative. I do have nerve pain (neuropathy) in my feet. I use a walking stick inside stores. Around the house I use a cane in certain situations. Hope you get things resolved to make you feel better.

@A MyMyelomaTeam Member I would request an MRI of your spine. X-rays show some stuff but not everything. I’d been experiencing back and rib pain for months and x-rays were fine but finally an orthopedist decided to look deeper and ordered an MRI, that’s when they found a plasmacytoma in my spine. It’s frustrating because you know when you’re having pain and then you get X-rays that say you’re fine, it makes you think you’re crazy - but finally, when you find a doctor that’s willing to look deeper you find you weren’t crazy after all. Keep pushing until you find someone who listens. I wish you well.
