My husband was diagnosed with MDS November 2016. This past week he has developed joint pain and it has become severe. Is this normal? And what can be done to relieve the pain?

Dear Darlene, Bone and joint pain is a symptom that many patients experience with MDS. This can be due to lack of oxygen to the muscles, an immune component to MDS much like arthritis. I know this is a difficult situation for you and I would recommend that you take your husband to one of our Centers of Excellence in MDS for a second opinion. Following is a link to our Centers of Excellence worldwide https://www.mds-foundation.org/mds-centeres-of-excellence/. I hope this information helps.
