Hi,

I haven't posted in quite a while, since I have been living in the uphoria of being NED for the last three and a half years. In fact, in two weeks is my cancerverary--4 years since diagnosis.
But, of late, I too, am experiencing pain in my lower back, right hip and buttocks. My physio-therapist thinks it's nothing to worry about--but that's what we do, right?
The pain is the worst at night, when I am laying in bed. It wakes me when I move in my sleep--but, once I'm up and walking around, I seem to be fine. This does not occur every night, but several nights a week.
My onc told me to watch out for pain that doesn't go away--but I can't help but worry. I don't want to overlook something that might be worth looking into.
What do you think?
I'd be glad for your input.
