Thank you😁
I was wondering if you could share with me what pain pill some are taking. Narcotics all the way to natural
I take 1 morphinene ir (immediate release) and a half percoset per day. But when I was first diagnosed I took 2 - 12 hour morphine per day for some serious back pain.
I was told it might be bowel pain, but even after I have bowel movements, I still have the pain. Any ideas? I have what I consider normal Myeloma pain (from compression fractures in my back), and other pain throughout my torso, but this pain is resolved by my Fentanyl and Dilaudid. However, this pain isn't resolved by either opioid.
I've also have the pain, and I have been blessed that it's not constant but daily. Does anyone know what is causing this? My doctor's say it's not the cancer, so what is it. If I knew maybe I could… read more
I was diagnosed this year and to this day I've seen one image and it's been multiple images taken. My cancer was found via biopsy in my sacrem but the pain is radiating from my left hip to my ankle, I had radiation on my sacrem and more recently my femur. I've went from slow release morphine to Fentanyl patches and oxycodone for break through but now on fentanyl patches and Dilaudid. Just started Dilaudid today and pain in left hip Is horrible. My question is does this pain subside once in… read more
Are you seeing a Multiple Myeloma Specialist? If not I’d highly recommend it.
Have tried all oral meds, TENS, Spinal Cord Stimulators plus failed back surgery (L5-S1). Only thing that has helped at all was oral oxycodone. Had a pain pump implanted 3+ weeks ago, now receiving .72mg/day of morphine with no relief, maybe actually worsening. Am curious about other intrathecal drugs such as dilauded and, particularly, bupivacaine for treating the neuropathy. Thanks.
Hi John, I wish I could take naproxen or ibuprofen but can't because of kidney damage from MM. I can take acetaminophen and if that doesn't work, I have 'scripts for morphine and oxycodone.

Ahoy, shipmates. I’m having another bone marrow biopsy on Tuesday in the doctors office. No hospital setting..
I believe. It’s 6 months since my SCT. I would like to know what medication should I ask for so that the biopsy is not so painful. My bones are very soft. Usually, they need to work very hard to get samples. My left side is the only side they can receive the necessary samples. Thank you all for your help. Wishing you a blessed weekend with smooth sailings.
Greetings from Alaska it has been my experience when they do the bone marrow biopsy in the doctors office. The only thing they give you is lidocaine to numb the area. After the doctors office failed… read more
I am glad they figured it out Christine. You are right, people with poor kidney function should not take morphine😉
Hey everyone. I will be starting Neupogen soon. Does anyone have recommendations for addressing the bone pain that comes with it in addition to taking Claritin? Thank you
I take oxycodone that helps occasionally. Lots of time it doesn't help at all.
They’ve been recommended to help with my neuropathy.
I’m interested to hear how well they worked and if any complications
Thanks
BTW - As a follow up to my Post above. I did get my MRD Report a that Friday. Of course I am MRD Negative (10 -6) as I expected.
The great additional News is - I was actually MRD Negative on Oct… read more
