BAckpain- mets or not?

[MCS]

I'm sorry to be such a worry wort but I need to let out!

I've been having backpain on my very low back. On my rump . It's not too bad in the morning and gets progessively worse as day passes. It also hurts if I sit for too long. I don't know if it's just age ( my cousin has similar symptoms but she does not have c) or something to really worry about. Ibuprofen does not help

I'm also getting the rib pain that many of us get with the herceptin. So this doesn't concern me as much as the back pain

I also get this nagging pain down my spine's sides but only when I move a certain way. This is worse after herceptin and then starts subsiding a bit. also gets worse if I sit too long- like when I'm here too much . I also worked on back yard last week to get ready for my daughter's h.s. graduation and of course I was very sore the following days. duh!

I'm so scared to ask for an mri to determine bone mets or not. You all know how it is. We are so fragile emotionally sometimes.

What's your voice or opinion on these symptoms. do you use dry heat or menthol patches or any pain meds?

I really appreciate your comments.

XOXO
