I’m 7 months post treatment complete response to treatment & follow up examination all good however had slight split from form stool 3 weeks ago that has healed but now jarred myself down a step & have got achey feeling lower back and sometimes in anal area, seen a osteopath for massage and says piroformus is tight & glutes but feel sitting it uncomfortable again and yet was fine for few weeks am panicking as I have health anxiety. Anyone else still get bum symptoms this far on

Hello HannahB

That is wonderful news that you have been given the all clear, however we all experience that nagging worry over aches and pains after a cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately the radiotherapy can inflame other areas in the 'line of fire' and that couple with jarring yourself has quite possible set off more inflammation. And yes, I am over four years out of treatment and having to do physiotherapy exercises every second day for achey hips.

That said, we always say please contact your treating team for reassurance if you have any worries; however I do hope that things improve for you very soon.

Hi HannahB - I am nearly 2 years post treatment and have similar hip and sCostco pain recently! Instant anxiety of course as you have - visited osteopath and pain moved from one side to the other and now full ache between each hip - anti inflammatory tablets have helps immensely as my work involves lots of time on my feet. Don’t give up moving and stretching and get help if anxious x
