Could pain in the back of my thigh be related to multiple myeloma?
Pain in the back of the thigh can have many causes, but the provided references do not directly link it to multiple myeloma.
Explanation
Pain in the back of the thigh can result from various conditions. The references provided discuss pain related to kidney disease and atypical causes of low back pain radiating to the leg.
Low Back Pain: One reference talks about low back pain that can spread to the leg, which might cause discomfort similar to what you're describing. However, it doesn't mention multiple myeloma as a cause.
Kidney Disease: The other references discuss musculoskeletal pain in people with kidney problems. While they mention pain in different body parts, they don't specifically connect this to multiple myeloma.
In summary, while pain in the thigh can be due to many reasons, the references provided do not specifically link it to multiple myeloma. If you're concerned about your symptoms, it's important to talk to a healthcare professional.
