Experiencing Pain In My Shoulders, Fingers And Knees That Results In Sleepless Nights
I am 86.having been a very active person. I now find my shoulders, fingers and even rebuilt knees ache causing sleepless nights all of a sudden. My mom died with Multiple Myeloma and I am wondering if I may get it too. I do have a bad back with herniated discs but the bones everywhere are painful. I have had epidurals and cortisone shots for bursitis in hips and shoulder,also a fractured ball to the femer. Are my chances of having Multiple Myeloma great? I am seeing a doctor in 10 days.

I can assure you that you do not have any high chances of multiple myeloma. Pain in all your bones is due to lack of vitamin b 12 deffieciency or low serum calcium. So my advice to you is to start taking calcium and vitamin d 3. Also tablet methylcobal will help you. For severe pain you can go for physiotherapy as well as pain killer like ultracet.
