Pain in Hips and lower back
Hi Ladies and Gents,
I completed Herceptin about 8 weeks ago. Chemo 14 months ago--
During chemo I started having pain in my hips especially when I was sleeping on my hip--like a burning pain--I never had this prior to chemo--it started on the L side--now as of a few months ago--both hips are effected.
The pain got a bit better around the first of the year---but got worse about 3 months ago--My Onc did a Bone Scan and DEXA both were normal---
The pain is getting worse the last week-it is now waking me up at night---I went to my PCP and she has ordered an x-ray and told me to take pain reliever at night like tylenol-aleve--I hesitate as I have an ulcer (thanks to chemo) and am 2 prescrips for the ulcer---
Have not had the xray--headed out of town for a week--will have upon my return--dont know what an xray will show that the bone scan didnt?
Anyone else out there with this type of pain happening???????
Otherwise--I feel great!!!
Hugs,
