How to manage hip and pelvic pain during cancer recovery?
Community Member
24 days agoI had good news from my PET scan. My lesions are healing! We don't know what is causing my hip and pelvic pain, I hope it is just because I am healing. I am starting a pain clinic later today. I have other issues like neuropathy and arthritis that also cause pain and I am hoping they can provide information about how to handle these issues. Have a wonderful day!

That's wonderful news about your PET scan results showing healing lesions! Starting with a pain clinic sounds like a smart approach for managing multiple pain sources, as they often have specialized strategies for addressing complex situations involving healing tissues, neuropathy, and arthritis together. Wishing you a productive first appointment and hoping you find some effective pain management techniques that work well for your recovery journey.

17 days agoCongratulations on your scan!! I've been to a pain clinic prior to hip replacement surgery (I had to wait six months to get the surgeon I wanted) and I have to say it was a great experience. The staff were very empathetic and thorough. They counseled about addiction concerns, but I had no problem getting appropriately strong pain killers.
