Urine sample sent for Bence Jones analysis

I'm worried. Had a great GP update before Xmas where we discussed my BP meds. Mentioned a few things that were worrying me, like thickened finger joints and night sweats. Was sent for a bunch of blood tests and urine.
Was called back to retake some of the bloods and do a new urine test. On the bottle it said Bence Jones. I looked it up and it seems to be a test for multiple myeloma. Am I wrong to be worried? Please could someone tell me if they have experience of this and what to expect? I don't have any particular symptoms.
Thanks in advance xx

Do you know the results of the original blood tests?
It's most likely a precaution just to dot all the "i"s etc. We do loads of tests to rule things out to make sure we don't miss anything serious. I don't think I've ever found a myeloma with a BJP!
