14 Signs of Multiple Myeloma

4. Osteoporosis

In addition to bone pain, you may notice that your bones have become weakened and brittle. This sign of multiple myeloma is called osteoporosis, and it happens when plasmacytomas erode the bone and cause it to become more fragile. If you have osteoporosis, you may find that you fracture bones more easily. Even mild injuries, like stumbling on stairs, can cause broken bones. Typically, osteoporosis affects older adults, so if you are a younger adult who notices weakening or painful bones that break easily, it may be a sign of multiple myeloma or another serious condition.
