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.

@omemee Please wait until the MRI is done. Images can be misleading. For now, don't do the "Dr. Google" thing, and frighten yourself. I bet your doctor has said the same thing to you, right? Take each step as just that, a step. Remember to breathe. Find something that will engage you, distract you. Remember to laugh and smile today. The two weeks will flash by, and then we will be here for you again. Meantime, please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

My MGUS was diagnosed in 2017, and lucky me, I went into smoldering multiple myeloma then active myeloma in Nov 2019.
