Suggest Treatment For Myeloma
i very recently was diagnosed with immunigoblins of 2800 IgG but with all normal blood platelets (of the red sort. or MGUS as a prior state of MEYELOMA, and a suggested bone marrow test in the office of over 3000 IgG. I need a concurrence or a second doctors opinion prior to that test and how it is done.

bone marrow is needed to see the extent of involvement. if it is MGUS, will not need treatment as well. Bone marrow test is done i=under local anesthesia from hip bone. usually it is with bearable pain and procedure lasts for 5 minutes. have never seen a patient complaining too much pain for it. you can go walking after the procedure. if you are too worried for pain, ask for sedation.
