Nerve/ itching skin?

Hello Michelle F6eb802 

I had quite a few things but nothing quite like you have described.  But we are all different, most of us are left with strange aches and twinges that certainly weren't there before treatment.

You might find that even if you get an appointment with your GP s/he will be unable to help.  I would go one further and say there is a large rather vague range of symptoms after treatment that even the oncologists can't fully explain.  But they are good at reassurance; if there is anything you need someone knowledgable to talk to please call your treating team.  I am pretty sure that most teams have many calls from patients who have been through this and who have strange things happening in the area of treatment.

But I hope it clear up soon - sounds so uncomfortable.

Big hug

Hi Michelle F6eb802 YES!!!! I had hives for two weeks. I took an antihistamine and (as my skin was pretty healed, Eurax stopped the itch, especially at night. Drove me crazy. It DOES pass xxx big hug of sympathy from me xxx

Hi Michelle F6eb802 ,

I can’t help with the itch but I see that Willow26  has given some helpful advice.

Regarding hip & lower back pain, lots of us here can sympathise with you on that one! Mine didn’t really kick in until I was discharged from surveillance at 5 years post treatment, I’ve spent the last 3 years undergoing different levels of physiotherapy & finally had an MRI earlier this year that basically showed a lot of inflammation in both my hips & lumbar spine. I’m now following an anti-inflammatory diet which is helping somewhat. 

You can self refer into physiotherapy which I’m guessing if you did see your GP that’s possibly what they would suggest. I would run your symptoms by your treating team, they may have some suggestions.
