Muscle spasms that are severe enough to nearly knock you off your feet are definitely worth taking seriously. While muscle spasms can occur with myeloma, spasms that intense are not something to just push through.
Back muscle spasms in myeloma can be caused by several things:
- Bone lesions or vertebral fractures caused by myeloma damaging the spine
- Peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) from certain myeloma treatments like chemotherapy
- Immunomodulatory drugs used in myeloma treatment, which can affect muscle tissue
- Low electrolyte levels such as magnesium or potassium
