Multiple Myeloma Warning Signs: Back Pain Could Be More Serious Than You Think

In this video, I highlight the warning signs of Multiple Myeloma, a type of blood cancer that often goes undiagnosed for an extended period. Early detection is critical, as it can significantly improve outcomes for patients.
One of the most common early symptoms of Multiple Myeloma is persistent back pain, especially in individuals over 50. This is often dismissed as a normal part of aging, but if your back pain doesn’t respond to medication, gets worse at night, or is accompanied by unexplained fatigue or frequent infections, it could be a sign of something more serious.
I also dive into the medical details, like how lytic lesions—holes in the bones caused by myeloma—can lead to bone fractures, even from simple movements like bending over. Additionally, myeloma-related kidney failure can develop due to high levels of protein and calcium in the blood, which often affects kidney function.
Don't ignore these key red flags. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, early cancer screening and early cancer detection can help prevent complications and improve your chances of recovery.
Key Takeaways:
Persistent back pain that doesn’t improve with medication
Low back pain especially for those over 50
Frequent infections, unexplained fatigue, and bone fractures
Lytic lesions in the bones as a sign of cancer
Understanding myeloma-related kidney issues and early diagnosis
Understanding the early signs of Multiple Myeloma and recognizing the symptoms of cancer can help you catch the disease before it progresses. Cancer awareness is crucial, and knowledge is your best tool for cancer prevention.
If you’re concerned about any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor about getting a proper diagnosis. Early treatment can lead to better outcomes, so don’t wait.
