What are the symptoms of myeloma?
The most common symptoms of myeloma are:
- bone pain, usually felt in the back or ribs
- bones that break easily
- unexplained fever and frequent infections
- tiredness (caused by anaemia)
- easy bruising or bleeding.
There are a number of conditions that may cause these symptoms, not just myeloma. If any of these symptoms are experienced, it is important that they are discussed with a doctor.
