10 Multiple Myeloma Symptoms
Symptom #5: Weakness
Weakness is a non-specific symptom that can be seen in various conditions. Divided into true and perceived weakness, true weakness occurs when there is a primary issue with the skeletal muscle as seen in muscular dystrophy, neuromuscular junction disorders, or inflammatory myopathy.
In perceived weakness, the affected individual feels as if more effort is required than normal to exert an amount of force. In multiple myeloma, anemia and hypercalcemia may contribute to weakness.
