Several weeks ago, I had a nagging pain through my arm, down my side, in to my hip and down my left leg. I was in agony. My onc sent me to the hospital for a Doppler Sonogram to make sure there was no blood clot causing the problem - thank God there wasn't. I was convinced I had met's in my bones...After having my regular scans (that were already scheduled), one of the reports came back saying I had a hernied disc in my lower spine (no met's). A few days later (still in pain), my mom bought me a new bed - one of those therapeutic Swedish foamy things. After two nights on this bed, I literally jumped out of bed and felt absolutely amazing. The old bed I had was horrible - like sleeping on a rock. I would mention the pain to the doctor - I always do. I learned THAT lesson. I hope your problem is a simple one that can be fixed easily...
