Hi there @Bris1976...I'm so sorry to hear of your devestating situation. I'm not in the same situation as you regarding my cancer, but I do have terrible joints...basically all my joints are damaged by a different medical condition. I also have bad back pain and all I can offer is this. Whatever the cause of bone and joint pain, you have to take care of them. I have a number of those little croissant shaped travel pillows filled with tiny polystyrene beads. I use these between knees when sleeping on my side (on my back or front is impossible for me. By doing so, you are lifting the upper leg joint at the spine to be straight. Otherwise the upper knee is at a downward slope and this alone leaves me in agony. Invest in the best mattress and or topper you can afford. I have been forced to use one of those four wheeled granny walkers, which is quite humbling, but it gives me a measure of independence when out and about. I hope your team get another good plan for you, and that the revised regime will get this all under some sort of control. Sending you a big Nanna Hug. ((( ))). Ally.
