Hi Max

It sounds to me that your Mum might have spinal cord compression. It could be that which made her legs go from under her. Does she respond if you tap her knee. This as how they diagnosed the tumour on my spine – my legs didn't respond. Incontinence can also be a sign.
Why not ask her Dr if it could be a possibility.

Love to you Mum.

Max this is a difficult disease and it may be that simply Mum has an infection or electrolyte imbalance, bloods and urine may need to be taken, talk to her GP or specialist nurse, you can of course talk to dear Ellen or Maggie our lovely Myeloma nurses they can certainly help explain things to you best wishes San x

hi mums just told my sister she has a worrying lump in her grion area its not soft so dont think its hernia anyone any ideas

Hi Max

I think you can have plasmacytomas in the groin area, but the important thing is for your mum to tell the Dr about it. Better to report something that isn't important than let it be missed.

More love.
