How to manage back and bone pain in a person with beta thalassemia minor?

Hello doctor,

I have two bone pains in my body. One has been present for two years and is stated to be arthritis in a joint in my back (I have scoliosis).

The other is due to an injury and is stated to be a bone bruise. Other than that, I do not have any pain in my bones, and I have had multiple MRIs and X-rays done recently for orthopedic things that have not shown anything unusual.

I just received a blood test result back, and I am concerned about the possibility of a multiple myeloma diagnosis. At the time of the blood draw, I was likely incubating strep as I tested positive two days later. It was also my third strep infection in three months.

I took Finasteride at the time of the blood draw and Naproxen. I have no other significant findings. Creatine, protein, and albumin are all normal. I have beta thalassemia minor, so my red blood cells are all over the place, but that has been that way for life. Can you provide some insight about the elevated levels?

Kindly assist.

Hi doctor,

Thank you.

I uploaded two laboratory reports. My kidney functions, while all normal, have all moved a slight bit worse in two weeks' time. You can see my earlier laboratory reports from two weeks before the one dated a month ago, which show my results.

I was taking 500 mg of Naproxen for ten days and was strep-A positive two days later. I also have beta-thalassemia, which shows up on my report. I am not concerned about that. My big concern is the myeloma biomarkers.

Please help.
