I am so glad I looked this up on here, knowing I'm not crazy and my bones hurt! My Hemo claims there is no symptoms to MGUS. I don't agree, for years I have dealt with random bone pain I used to be able to ignore it, now it's getting worse I'm having to treat it with over-the-counter pain meds. Mainly it's my upper body shoulders, ribs upper back and arms. It's not joint pain and it's not muscle pain, it's pain in the middle of my bones to the point of wanting to just lay down and not move. Unfortunately, I am a single house income and have to work 2 jobs. I am able to, but some days are miserable, like today.

Fortunately I am retired . I feel I need to know so much more about MGUS. I have just developed elbow pain. No injury that I am aware of. Could that be related to MGUS?

I have been having elbow pain for at least two weeks. No injury to account for it. Could this be MGUS related? I am lucky as I am retired but have a disabled spouse. UGH. Married for 59 years so I am lucky as I do get help for him through the VA. But no help for me. Elbow pain is bothersome.
