Re: Hip/leg pain...
Hi Marlene, I two am experiencing leg pain. I will have a PET soon. I just went back to work after hip replacement and have several projects I will finish up next week.
My hip replecement has helped greatly. I has zero rotation..now I do pretty well. It was not cancer but bone spurs. small spurs all over the ball of my hip. I couldn't stand up stright. By the end of the day I would be really bent over. I hope to have the other hip done this summer.
The pain I am having is on the leg of the bad hip. 3 or 4 inches above my knee. Night is the time it is the most painful. I have downsized to a condo and .... have lifted and moved 8 to10 hours a day... It could be from that. But it is time for scans.
Hope it turns out to be nothing for us both . Stay in touch. Sounds like you will have your scans before me. I guess if my PET would show something I would then have a bone scan???
