Possible Causes of Bone Pain and Frequent Urination

Conditions that commonly cause both symptoms together

1Early Multiple Myeloma often produces non-specific symptoms: fatigue, malaise, or mild discomfort
2Early warning signs may include: bone pain, fatigue, weight loss, nausea
3Subclinical changes in blood tests, blood pressure, or weight often precede overt symptoms
4Family history and risk factors increase the probability that vague symptoms represent early Multiple Myeloma
5Screening programmes are designed specifically to detect Multiple Myeloma before symptoms appear
6Core management targets: reducing bone pain, fatigue, weight loss and preventing disease progression

Conditions That Cause Both Bone Pain and Frequent Urination

2 conditions are associated with this symptom combination

Multiple Myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow, causing bone pain, anemia, kidney damage, and recurrent infections. Symptoms arise from the accumulation of abnormal plasma cells.

Hypercalcemia is elevated blood calcium, most commonly caused by overactive parathyroid glands or cancer. Symptoms follow the mnemonic 'bones, stones, groans, and psychic moans'.
