Thank you for addressing this. I'm happy your husbands pain is under control. My palliative doctor is wonderful. My oncologist is the one that quickly mentioned it shouldn't be painful. I must say, I as of March of last year my pet scan did not detect lesions. I will be getting another test soon. My pain is in the spine and yet my whole body aches. It's a deep ache. I have some more scans coming up so maybe it will show something. I do respect my oncologist. He is a great doctor. This little exchange happened when I was walking out the door after the our appointment. It just took me by surprise. I'm sure more will be revealed as time goes on and that my conversation with them will continue. Thank you again.

@photogirl54 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! From my own experience, we as patients can experience pain that our medical team may not attribute to the myeloma. That certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This will allow you to educate your doctor in how this deep-seated pain is affecting you. I sincerely hope he would not want to see you experiencing discomfort! Just because your scans did not detect lesions doesn't mean you don't/can't have pain. Just my own personal opinion....
