Hello Steve.
Because of myeloma, I also have an injury to my spine and ribs. I have fractured T-12, L1, and C2, the latter of which requires me to wear a collar. My pain is also very strong and any extra movement makes it difficult for me. I need help getting out of bed or out of a chair like you. I use crutches to walk because I had radiotherapy on my hip and I also feel pain when walking just ten metres; I have to sit down. I take 50mg of morphine twice a day (morning and night), also morphine solution every two hours, and even so, the back pain is still there, I think. Based on the comments that my colleagues have kindly sent me, I will have the transplant and put my fears of chemo in a jar and throw it away. I want to tell you that I am encouraged and go ahead.
All the best
Rafael
