Re: Nagging Pain in thigh
Sometimes pain is just pain, but everything should be checked out by a doctor. We as cancer patients seem to forget arthitis is a wonderful thing. Simple diagnosis is a blessing. But, as a long time steroid user, I have to tell you to watch your hips. In my case, steroids have reaked hazard. The blood supply was cut off to the hip bones and the bones became brittle and slowly cracked and became useless. This does not happen to everyone, but it is something that steroid users should know about. Good luck and God bless...
