Saw the doctor recently. His numbers have dropped again, but are still not quite low enough for an official MDS diagnosis. However the doctor now has him on monthly monitoring. Also, he's lost 10 lbs-- the reason his pants are falling off him lately.
While we wait for the next round of labs, today he suddenly doubled over in pain, and thought he cracked a rib. He wasn't doing anything strenuous at the time. He keeps insisting he's fine, but I see him wincing. I made him promise to go see the doctor if it doesn't improve over the weekend.
Is rib pain common?
