Hi Calray,
I too had problems with ‘useless’legs but I’d like to give a bit of history first.
My diagnosis of myeloma occurred in a very roundabout way. I’d suffered increasingly severe migraines and noticed that I had difficulty raising my right leg so that I’d have to pull it up with my arms in order to cross a stile. It was discovered that my blood pressure was extemely high and that I had impaired kidney function. Eventually myeloma was diagnosed.
I was prescibed courses of Rev , dex and cyclophosphamide, during which my walking stability became far weaker and occasionally resorted to using a wheelchair or more frequently walking sticks. I had my SCT in Dec 2012. Recovery took far longer than I had anticipated and until Aug 2014 I would only have said that I felt so-so.(Not bad note but not yet as I well as I had hoped for).
I kept on referring to my leg problems but no one paid much attention and didn’t think it was related to the myeloma.I was sent to have neurological tests but these came back negative despite annual appointments with the nerologist.
Suddenly in August this year I felt as if the fog had lifted and last week I discovered that I could also raise my leg normally. Just like that.
So whatever anyone says, and whether it is related to myeloma or not, just hang in there: it may yet get better and the doctors ,though they know a lot , do not know eveything about this disease.
All the best in your (husbands) journey
