Multiple myeloma : Is not an easy disease to have or to diagnose. The findings you mentioned aren't peculiar to the disease, lot of other parameters are needed to diagnose, the most important in this context is the heamatologist/oncologist, together with the other specialists you have appointments with. Can't commit to a diagnosis on this limited platform, wish you wellness
