Hi
Just posting on the off chance to see if anyone has experienced anything like this ………5 mths since higher anterior resection for stage 3 (1 lymph Impacted out of 15) cancer in sigmoid colon. Recovered well from surgery, everything had settled and Capox began just before Christmas. Since finishing chemo and due to feeling so much better my activity levels have improved significantly. Now having issues with dragging/heavy and at times sharp pain on right side from hip bone across to centre line down to lower pelvic region. Wondering if I’m maybe just doing too much too soon or I have irritated scar tissue etc. Calling colorectal nurses for guidance but wondered if anyone has had a similar experience?
