Do the lytic lesions in the bones “heal” over the course of time as the Mspike drops and bloodwork improves? Will the bones always be weak?

Linda,
I was told in 2019 to start Zometa for severe osteoporosis. I refused because I have lots of dental work and I did not want osteonecrosis (jaw bone death). I take MRM Bone Maximizer III (1400 mg spread throughout the day) with extra D3, K2, Vitamins E complex, A and C. It seems t be working. No lesions. No breaks. This protocol also stopped my severe leg and foot cramps.

That’s sounds like you’re making great progress.

Specifically at my Story, regarding my Bone Lesion recovery, look at the section about the Pre and Probiotics and the Minerals, Vitamins and Supplements section that I mentioned for Bone Health

During the short Treatment of my Bone Tumor, my Labs showed that I was quickly building Bones (the quick rise of my AlkPhos and its return to Normal afterwards)

Happy New Year !

Do lytic lesions heal as M-spike drops and bloodwork improves, and will bones always be weak?

Lytic lesions are areas where myeloma cells have eroded the bone, creating soft spots. While treatment can stop further bone damage and improve your overall health, the lesions themselves don't typically "heal" in the traditional sense. The bone damage that's already occurred tends to be permanent.

However, there's good news about managing bone health:

* Bone-strengthening medications can help prevent new fractures and strengthen remaining bone
* As treatment reduces myeloma activity (shown by dropping M-spike and improving bloodwork), it stops further bone destruction
* Some people take oral bone strengtheners long-term to maintain bone health

Your bones may remain weaker in areas where lesions formed, which means you'll need to be mindful of fracture risk. Many people with myeloma continue taking bone-strengthening treatments even when their disease is well-controlled.

Regular monitoring and preventive care can help protect your bones going forward, even if the existing damage doesn't fully reverse.
