It is best to wait to worry because MRI changes in bones do not always indicate Cancer. Once you have done the Myeloma screen send us the results and we can guide you further. Do you have any neck pain...send us details about any symptoms in and around your neck/spine(Cervical) area).

I had a cervical spine and lumbar spine MRI, which showed diffuse mildly diminished marrow signal. Neurologist says it could be normal as my blood work is normal. Serious?
