Those symptoms sound really uncomfortable, and it's completely understandable to feel concerned. When smoldering myeloma begins to progress, some common signs to watch for include:

- Bone or muscle pain — back, hips, ribs, or other areas
- Fatigue or weakness
- Feeling cold or having temperature regulation issues
- Night sweats or hot flashes
- Nausea or loss of appetite

The thigh, neck, and shoulder pain you're describing, combined with feeling cold during the day and hot at night, are worth taking seriously. Regarding the blood draw situation — that's genuinely frustrating. A lab order dated for September doesn't necessarily mean it can't be drawn sooner. It's worth calling your hematologist or oncologist's office directly and explaining your new symptoms. They may be able to:

- Reissue or update the lab order with today's date
- Triage your symptoms and potentially move up your appointment
- Advise whether urgent testing is needed

Don't wait if symptoms worsen. New or escalating pain and temperature changes are exactly the kind of thing your care team needs to know about promptly.
