Hello @omemee and welcome to Connect.

I'm sure it would be helpful for you to connect with others who have experienced this type of diagnosis. On Connect, we have two discussions on MGUS. Here are the links to those discussions,
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mgus-diagnosis/ and
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mgus-and-quite-high-free-kappa-light-chain-and-kappa-lambda-ratio/
I would like to invite others to share with you such as @gingerw, @mjlandin, and @ea1.

You said that this problem was found in the pelvic area, only on the skeletal survey. Had you been having symptoms that led to this skeletal survey? How long ago were you initially diagnosed with MGUS?

Thank you so much for your reply. I had elevated kappa light chains, and was diagnosed with mgus in 2016. My doctor ordered a skeletal survey this year at my checkup. He does that with patients who have had mgus for awhile, My bloodwork was ok, urine ok, but he didn’t like one of the pelvic x rays, and the radiologist said it looked like multiple myeloma. I have to wait two weeks for insurance to be ok’d before mri can be done. I have had hip pain, joint mobility issues, but I thought it was probably arthritis as I turned 75 in April. I do have some numbness but also after Covid, my blood sugar has been elevated. I am wondering what they do with pelvic lytic lesion issues. Am rather frightened to hear of the bad X-ray.
