The Many Faces of Pain

Pain is often part of living with multiple myeloma, but it doesn’t always appear in the ways people expect. It’s not always dramatic or urgent. Sometimes it’s the quiet, persistent discomforts that become part of everyday life.   In this episode of Through MYeloma Eyes, Solomon Alexis shares his lived experience of the different forms pain can take while navigating life with multiple myeloma. From peripheral neuropathy and stomach discomfort to knee pain and ongoing back issues, he reflects honestly on how these sensations affect daily life, movement, and mindset.   Solomon also discusses the practical and emotional sides of managing chronic pain — learning to adapt, recognising when pain needs medical attention, and finding ways to keep moving forward even on uncomfortable days.   This episode offers a personal and thoughtful perspective for patients, caregivers, and anyone wanting to better understand the everyday realities of living with myeloma.
