First mets scare since '05:(

I've been fortunate in not having any major stresses since my dx..up to this week that is!
I suddenly developed constant lower back pain last Friday evening without an apparent cause or injury that I can recall. The pain has'nt let up since, usually I wait the obligitory two weeks but as I was due at the hospital today for a clinical trial appt I mentioned it to the Dr.
I also told a little white lie and said I'd had it for a week as I knew he'd dismiss it otherwise and I'm really worried about this. My blood work today was fine, I had an x ray of my lower back which will be followed by a bone scan when they arrange a date. I know everyone's different but had always thought any mets would start off with little pain and then build up? This one began strong and is there all the time although I am getting a little relief today from Nurofen although it has'nt gone completly.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my worries and hope you all don't mind, a problem shared is a problem halved as they say
Please keep finger's and toe's crossed for me!!!
