Newbie with pain

Hi @LAT, I have mets in my hip and when I do get pain it isn't that bad. However, I have heard the pain associated with mets in your vertebrae can be quite bad - so don't feel weak!! My concern for you is that your pain is getting worse. Do you know if your radiotherapy worked? Also, have you decided not to have other treatment (chemo or hormone). Increased pain maybe associated with the mets getting bigger which will happen if you are palliative and if so, perhaps you can get a referral to a palliative specialist who will be able to manage your pain more tightly. Of course if you are wanting to treat your mets you need to get started on something that is going to reduce those mets, particularly if the radiation didn't work- if the mets get smaller or disappear, your pain may reduce. Pain is so debilitating for everything in life and there are things that can be done. Good luck. xx
