New to here ❤︎

A dull ache in my left side near the thigh area. Near  that bone called iliac. Ached a bit when I walked. Tried with a walking stick. On a night felt as if my knicker elastic was digging into my groin and still ached. Think I felt as if I was limping. My nurse at GPS examined my hip joints and said she didn't think it was arthritis. Sent me to see a physio. She thought it was something that needed physio and would take about three months to clear up. Decided on x ray first....she wasn't going to...but said she would....no cancer in family. The xray showed a large hot spot. The tumour was as big as  a small.melon.. The operation is called hemipelvectomy 

..

You could be writing my story with your description…. I was also asked if cancer ran in my family… like I said to Gp…. A family history has to start somewhere…. It could be me … I don’t know that and neither does she… fair to say… I’m scared 

Hope what I've written hasn't scared uou. I don't want you thinking and getting fobbed of for months with doctors saying its arthritis or sciatica. I hop it is. But chondrosarcoma is a rare cancer and the dedefferintiated one is a really nasty one. Just for the sake of a few minutes x ray could ease your mind. Xx

It hasn’t scared me, I’m already worried sick anyway! 
I truly appreciate your openness. This is not like sciatica/nerve pain… I will not be fobbed off… I’ll keep in touch and similarly… always here to lend an ear should you need it … take care x

No it's not sciatica. Hope everything goes well. Here for you . Take care

• Hi I experience the same in my kegs and find it hard to sleep or get comfortable,  what I do is raise my kegs to a comfortable level which I'm able to withstand in order to rest a bit.   This also helps with reducing my swelling in my legs as well.  I'll also have a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate to help me relax more so I'm able to be more relaxed when IAM trying to sleep.  I hope this helps 

Hi may I ask you where your primary started and what treatment are you having. Hope the pain isn't too bad for you. Take care x

Hi did you get any xrays done? How are you?
