Hi Everyone, my dad was diagnosed with MM on 27th September 2023. He is still waiting for an MRI scan.

Dad is in so much pain he’s on oxycodine but still not able to lay flat or sit up in a chair for long periods. Is this normal?

Dad has broken ribs and crumbling vertebraes

Dad is not able to walk anymore will this improve?

Amy help, tip support as we start this journey is appreciated

Thanks in advance x

Hi there,

Have you explained to your medical team the amount of pain he is in? They can refer him if necessary to a pain relief clinic, or prescribe stronger drugs such as Oramorph. However, if he also has kidney damage due to the Myeloma, some drugs can be harmful, but there are good alternatives available (such as Oxynorm instead of Oramorph), but make sure to tell those who are prescribing them if you have any other underlying medical conditions.

Regards, Tony
