Can stomach issues occur while taking myeloma injections?

Yes, stomach issues can definitely happen while taking injections for myeloma treatment. Several members have reported experiencing abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and nausea from their injection medications.

Common stomach-related side effects include:
- Abdominal pain and cramping
- Bloating and gas
- Nausea
- Constipation

A MyMyelomaTeam member shared their experience with injection site changes: "I started to receive Velcade (bortezomib) injection in the abdomen and had a lot of pain all around the belly. Now I get the injection right below the shoulder and have no side effects or pain."

Another member mentioned: "I had a bad reaction to Revlimid. Abdominal bloating, gas pains, and nausea."

If you're experiencing stomach issues with your injections, talk to your doctor. They may be able to adjust your injection site, modify your treatment plan, or recommend ways to manage these symptoms. Never stop or adjust medications on your own without consulting your healthcare provider first.
