Managing Painful New Fractures: Kyphoplasty?
AI-generated title
I am in remission (IgA MM) based on bone marrow results after my first 8 month round of Velcade-Darzalex-Dexamethasone-Revlamid. My biggest hurdles have been massive blood clots (saddle & all 5 lobes) in September 2023 for which an emergency thrombectomy was performed and I am now on Xarelto. I also had lumbar fractures & had 3 kyphoplasties in August 2023 which was miraculous & got rid of all of my pain. Now I am riddled with severe pain again with 3 new fractured thoracic vertebrae. It has been suggested to undergo surgery again with kyphoplasty. In looking at the rest of my spine it is riddled with lesions. Does anyone have experience in any alternate procedures that should be reviewed or information on kyphoplasty concerns? I am on Zometa IV monthly & Revlamid 10mg maintenance. I am hoping there is hope & progress for bone lesions.
