Low back pain in multiple myeloma is often due to bone damage or fractures caused by the disease affecting the spine.
Low back pain in individuals with multiple myeloma is primarily due to the disease's impact on the bones. Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. It can lead to bone lesions or damage, particularly in the spine, which is a common site for the disease to manifest.
Managing this pain often involves treating the underlying multiple myeloma and addressing the bone damage through medications, physical therapy, or sometimes surgery. It's important for individuals with multiple myeloma experiencing back pain to discuss their symptoms with their healthcare provider for appropriate management.
