Thank you for sharing your experience. It seems they can’t do much for me at this point. I forgot to mention that I had XGEVA 120 injections for four and a half years, initially on a monthly basis, but I gradually transitioned to every two, three, and four months. I had to stop the medication for six months to have one of my wisdom teeth extracted (three months before and three months after the surgery). Following the recent pain, my specialist advised me to resume XGEVA 120 injections monthly. While I can manage the back pain, I cannot deny the negative impact it has had on my well-being.

Good for You. I can say I have lost half of my hair. Probably in my case combination of factors contributed to the hair falls including: taking warfarin

Hi dennis
I have been on lenalidomide 10ml for 4 years and half after ASCT as mentanance. I’m still taking the medication. After ASCT I have it evey day for two years. After two years My specialist advised me to take it for 3 days and one day off medication to help my WBC. Sometimes im off the pill for a week. I try to be on the maintanance pill till relaps. It seems it works for me. Please Le me know what medicines your specialists prescribed for you.

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome for fringe numbness and tingling. Now all symptoms: finger joint pain and numbness are manageable and have been reduced significantly

Hi Dickb
No, I didn’t have MRT scan recently.

Hi silverlining1967
Your joint pain are not unusual. It’s due to Harvesting stem cells but mine is a little bit strange coz it stated 2 months and half after SCT. So not sure is the side effects of high dose chemotherapy (melphalan) ot it’s something else.

Take care

hi mulberry,
My T2 &T5 vertebra affected. that’s where my myeloma journey began, i was 41 years old when I got diagnosed wiz myeloma I underwent two surgeries: fixation and fusion surgery in 2016 and kyphoplasty for T5 in 2019. I’m on monthly Xgeva since I started having the 4 chemo cycles prior to SCT.
I feel tired the next day receiving subcutaneous injection of Xgeva. After SCT I have been experiencing join pain in my hands fingers. I’m suspicious on Xgeva side effects although I didn’t have this side effect before SCT. That’s why I’m asking what others experiencing with this drug after SCT.

Information on lenalidomide are available online. Each cycle begins with taking 21 day medication and one week rest
Good luck

Hi redlinehigh
Im on the second cycle of lenalidomide maintenance. So far i did not notice any unpleasant side effects.

Stay safe

[myeloma2016Participant]
