Members responded to a question about intense leg pain described as a hot poker sensation, with several sharing that it could be neuropathy, muscle spasms, or bone pain related to multiple myeloma. Practical tips included taking magnesium, calcium with K2 and D3 to support bone health, and applying aloe vera gel for relief, with many encouraging the member to speak with their doctor about bone pain since it may be treatable. A recurring theme was navigating difficult symptoms and side effects with resilience, faith, and community support.

Cheri,
Neuropathy is one thing, but hot poker sounds a bit more serious. Check in with your doctor.

I had my bone marrow biopsy 2 weeks ago. Since then, I feel a bit of a hot poker in one spot on my thigh, same side as biopsy. I didn’t know how to describe it but now I can! My diagnosis isn’t official yet….just had kidney biopsy. My oncologist called the pathologist who took the samples. Of course, he can’t say for sure but said it’s looking more like MM. So getting the diagnosis is a bit of a roller coaster ride. As I now say, more roller and less coaster! Trying to be funny 😆!
I know I’m so blessed as I’m able to take this is stride and have faith, my Lord has my back! ✝️🙏🛐
