Sounds like you’re dealing with side effects of a Blood Pressure medication
My experience
Ask your doctor
I can relate to some of this during my Multiple Myeloma journey. Even in remission, many of us still experience ongoing effects from both the disease and long-term treatment.
Joint pain in the fingers, legs, hands, shoulders, cramps, stiffness, neuropathy, and body aches can happen from: treatment side effects inflammation nerve irritation steroid effects muscle weakness/fatigue reduced activity over time
Sometimes shoulder pain and movement problems can also come from muscle tightness or old bone involvement, so it’s important to mention it during follow-up.
Low HB requiring transfusions can also explain: fatigue. weakness's breathlessness reduced stamina body aches feeling worse
I learned that remission does not always mean the body immediately feels “normal” again. Many of us continue learning how to balance activity, rest, nutrition, hydration, and recovery.
For me personally, some days I can do more, while other days my body reminds me to slow down 😅
Now when I walk a little faster, sometimes my heart pumps very fast like I just ran 100 metres 🤭 And if I keep doing housework continuously one after another, my breathing can start to feel tight and heavy too.
Over time, I’m slowly learning to adapt, pace myself better, and accept that my body has different limits now compared to before treatment.
Some days are easier, some days are harder — but Alhamdulillah, we keep moving forward step by step 😇🤲💛
I am old or myeloma …….🫣🤭

It sounds like remission is bringing some relief, but the joint pain and low hemoglobin (HB) are still making things tough. These are experiences shared by many MyMyelomaTeam members, so you're definitely not alone in this.
The joint and finger pain, along with shoulder discomfort, could be related to peripheral neuropathy Show Full Answer
