I have just finished my radiotherapy treatment for rectal cancer, I have to wait for more scans later. Day 2 of the treatment I experienced severe pain in my right hip. After x rays I have been prescribed pain medication, I am unable to walk a distance without discomfort . Is this the result or side effect the treatment , and has any other member experienced the same problem?.
