It's hard to say, it could be bone mets, or it could be an old injury flaring up because of the new bed.

About 15 years ago I was rear ended in a car accident, and for some reason, it flared up about a year ago. We bought a new tempure pedic bed, and the pain completely went away. So it COULD be the bed.

I would ask your onc for a bone scan just to check. Hopefully it isn't bone mets, but there are many who have had bone mets diagnosed and are successfully treating it long term.

Me included, my bone mets have been NED for 18 months now, maintained with just Herceptin.
