my partner now can’t walk and finds it hard to stand. Has anyone else had problems with leg movement and painful bruising on the thigh?

Hi

The advice is always to speak to the medical experts or the Myeloma helpline if you have any concerns.

Your not alone. Lack of mobility seems to be a common side effect of Myeloma either due to bone damage, problems with the spine and spinal cord, and muscle weakening as a side effect of the medication.

I had all three when first diagnosed but am now mostly sorted and enjoying an improved quality of life.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply David – he had an X-ray yesterday on his thigh so hopefully we will know more today.
