Hi,
Multiple myeloma is bone malignancy which is known to cause relapse and aggressive recurrence.
The way you are describing, the possibility of relapse of multiple myeloma in the form of bony spurs is more likely.
So better to consult oncologist and get done a PET scan to identify metastases if present.
You may need to change chemotherapy drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
