Last summer I developed pain in my left hip. Mentioned it to my onc and he immediately ordered X-ray and bone scan. All was clear for BC; bone spur and arthritis was the culprit. That hip has done considerably better since.
This summer, my right hip is behaving much the same way. I do not have constant pain, hurts when I move up and down, sitting to standing etc. However, it does not seem to be getting any better using Advil or Tylenol Arthritis. Mentioned it to my onc and he offered scan, but I chose to wait a bit and see.
My question obviously is whether or not this sounds like bone mets. I hate to jump into tests and scans at every turn--but I don't want to miss anything either. Arimidex and Lupron contribute to joint stiffness--but this is a significant change in this hip.
I value you wisdom and support!
