I was diagnosed withMGUS in 2022. I saw a hemologist who resured me to follow it. If i get bone pain to be seen. I went to my Family Practice doc. who diagnosed my hip pain as bursitis. Three weeks later I still have hip pain, have developed knee pain. Maybe because Im not walking right? I now have so much pain in my foot it hurts to walk. I dont want to be paranoid baut I really feel something is not right. My FP wants to give my me a steroid injection in my hip. I would like to have an MRI. Is that unreasonable? What should I try first? Kinda scared.

@diana59 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
Are you being followed by a hematologist oncologist? In my experience, a family practice provider simply does not have the knowledge to work with MGUS patients. I would at least check with your specialist to get their opinion, so you can consider what your decision will be.
Will you let us know what you find out, please?

@diana59 , I would insist on some testing. Mayo NEVER prescribes anything without further testing.
It's just so strange...seems most primary drs prescribe a bandaid, no tests. Mine does the same thing, so I rarely bother to complain to him...I wait till I go to Mayo. That said, there were times I felt like toooooo many tests were being done, so I now speak up about that, necessity only. I went through ALOT!! Hope you get to the root, and then only treat accordingly.
