Hi Gals and Guys,
Kathy, my wife has been having sciatic pain lately. It has gotten so bad she cannot sleep.
She has been Stage IV from 2002 with mets to bones and nodes, liver once, and lung once. All treatments have gone well so far.
We had the MRi for her back. Unfortunately they did not find a herniation. ( I wish they did)They believe some of her previous bone lesions have grown and pushing on her nerve bundle. That word progression came out. Well she just had scans about 2 months ago and all was stable as usual. She is going in now for a repeat CT and bone to check the other areas.
Any experience on back pain(sciatia) with mets to spine? Well, just needed a prayer, and hopefully stop my panic attack. Have not had one in a year now.
Thanks for the ear!
John
