Velcade, Revlimid and frequent falling

by Mary Steele on Fri Sep 06, 2013 8:14 pm

My husband had tumor on shoulder and has lost most of that shoulder. He had radiation for the tumor. He has had 7 chemo treatments. Velcade and Revlimid. This week he started with very bad hip pain. X-ray shows nothing. His legs are so weak he can hardly walk, Yesterday he fell twice, so he started using a cane. Today he fell twice. He was in the yard and only taken a few steps when fell. I had to get my old walker out for him to pull up on and get back to the house.

Has anyone else had this problem? How long will this last and what can he do about it.
