I’ve been getting neck pain. Never had any issues prior to the myeloma . It usually starts if I’ve been on my feet to long. Goes from my neck into my head, a burning ache.
What do yours feel like and how does it start or causes a flair up?
Hi Betty - I am sorry to hear this. I don't have neck pain, but my scalp does give me issues. Guess I would describe it as light pain, itching and tingling. My hair thinned some as well. I started a hair, skin and nails supplement which has helped.
Have you asked your Cancer Care Team for assistance? Also, have you had any Pet Scans or X-Rays that highlight any possible lesions? I relapsed earlier this year and have had several Pet Scans. It appears I do have a lesion on my skull, but I don't really have any headache issues, so I decided not to worry about it. Hoping my new chemo regimen slows the progression of bone lesions.
One other thought. My right clavicle has a lesion and fracture. Sometimes it hurts and feels achy. I have found a hot compress helps.
Sincerely hoping they can help you with your pain issues. Please keep us posted on your progress. Take care, and God bless. ♥️
