Could be plain old arthritis or osteoarthritis. It is very common in the hip area. I would say that you should see your dr. as pain 24/7 should not be ignored. You may also be placing stress on your hip that you are not aware of.
Yes, Jean I have had a Bone density test. What I failed to mention ( brain fog) I do have severe osteoporosis. I was Dx'd with that at the same time I was Dx'd with BC in 2005. My last T-score which was in February measured it being worse than the previous year. My spine T-score is -3.8 and my hip's -3.4. I do take Actonel monthly.
So this particular pain feels so much different than what I'm used to and this pain doesn't go away.
I do have a an appointment scheduled with Primary Care Doctor after the first of the year. I guess I will ask her to schedule a bone scan for me, since I haven't one since April 2005. I also have my every 3 month check -up with my Onc. in February. I did mention the pain at my last appointment with him ( Nov) but it went in one ear and out the other.
