Pain and throbbing in right shin bone

Hi Nanny,

Of course I don't know, but it's certainly true that pelvic radiation takes a toll on our bones, especially women of a certain age as we're also naturally subject to bone deterioration. In the States we get a Dexascan to check bone density. Might be worth asking your doctor.

Hope it clears up soon. Phantom pain is no fun.

Hugs

Suz

Hi Suz I am due a bone density scan that may show something I was just so scared it might be a cancer crazy I know but hopefully after the scan I’ll know and it’ll make me feel better although this pain is pretty intense and I’m dreading it if it gets worse. Hugs back to you to thanks xx 

Ah, GreenNanny, aches and pains!  I have them too, and I never had them before.  I am not sure if it is because I might be walking awkwardly because my hips ache, especially the right one.  I have been checked out and apparently my hip tendons are inflamed.  Pelvic radiotherapy doesn't mention anything about lower legs unless possible swelling.  it would be worth checking on your next hospital visit, or with your GP if it is really bad.  Sounds really painful, especially aches in the night are so debilitating.

Hello Irene I hope you’re keeping well. I’m hoping I can get into the gp soon ish and hopefully find out. Thanks for your reply fingers crossed it’s nothing serious. Take care xx
