this is my son Anthony, he had the bone cement yesterday and it seems to work, up and moving this morning. He is a man with few words. Hope you are doing well.

oops. . I would certainly consider it strongly should a fracture occur in my back. The only experience I have had with bone cement is having some injected into my foot to stabilize an area around a surgical fracture. Worked well, but at the time we didn't know the pain in my foot was caused by peripheral neuropathy, not multiple surgeries for plantar fasciitis. Or a little of both. . .

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat vertebral fractures in myeloma patients. During the procedure, a balloon is used to restore height to collapsed vertebrae, followed by reinforcement with special bone cement. This treatment can help stabilize the spine and potentially provide pain relief. One MyMyelomaTeam member shared their experience with bone issues, noting they had experienced 14 fractures throughout their myeloma journey. While this member ultimately used oral bone strengtheners, kyphoplasty remains an important treatment option for vertebral fractures caused by myeloma.

For best results, early surgical intervention or bracing is recommended for spinal issues related to myeloma. Always discuss treatment timing and options with your healthcare team to determine if kyphoplasty is right for your specific situation.
