Dr. Edward Libby Describes Multiple Myeloma Symptoms

Dr. Edward Libby, describes multiple myeloma symptoms. The most common symptoms are: pain, most often in the back because the bones have gotten thin, kidney failure which there aren’t usually any symptoms, anemia/low blood counts which can cause extreme fatigue. It’s common for patients to go to their primary care physician for back pain and an x-ray or MRI which can show bone damage. A blood test can also pick up the change in the blood count which can be diagnosed as multiple myeloma. If people are diagnosed early enough and treated appropriated, it can help prevent permanent damage to the kidneys. Dr. Libby is a multiple myeloma specialist at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.
