Have Lump On Left Mastoid Bone. No Fever. Pain On Heels. Had Multiple Myoma. Advice?
Good evening. I also have a hard bump on my left mastoid bone. I don't have fever but it has been 3 months now that I feel pain on my heels. Every time I stand up, I could hardly walk. I think it is my uric acid increasing level because I also feel the same on my fingers. I have not gone to a doctor yet. I am so worried if there is something wrong with my bones. I also think that I might have problem with my nerves or muscles. About 4 years ago i was diagnosed with multiple myoma but at that time the doctor found it so small that did not qualify for any surgical operation. I have not gone to a doctor yet because I am scared. Please help me. I would appreciate for any advice you could give. Thanks.

Hi! Welcome to HCM and thank you for your question. Your symptoms are consistent with the progression of your multiple myeloma. This disease involves the accumulation of plasma cells (white blood cells that produce antibodies) in bone marrow and causes bone lesions. I am strongly suggesting that you see your doctor as soon as possible so that he/she can determine how far your multiple myeloma has progressed since diagnosis so an appropriate plan of management can be initiated. Feeling scared is very natural, but what is important is that you face this fear so that you can take control of your life and start improving your health. Good luck! I hope you feel better soon!

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
Multiple myeloma deposits can occur in any bone due to hematogenous spread and cause pain, swelling or at times "pathological fracture" of the involved bone.
I suggest you to consult an orthosurgeon and get a detailed evaluation done.
Hope this helps
