Hi I finished my treatment 4 weeks ago for stage 2b cervical cancer.
Since the last brachytherapy I've had pain in my hip and leg I went to my gp and he gave me naproxen for the pain.
Yesterday I had a follow up with the consultant at christies. She said it was nerves and that naproxen wasn't the right medication and is writing to the gp so I can get different medication (can't remember what it is called)
My question is will this be a permanent pain or is it something that will get better. Its been really painful today walking up and downstairs. I had to stop pulling clothes out of the dryer before because it was too painful.
Thanks sam
Hi Daisybella
I finished my pelvic radiation at the end of May and I suffered with thigh pain and spasms from approx week 2 onwards. It has been 5weeks since my final treatment and it finally seems to have disappeared . Not sure if it will be the same for you but hopefully it wont be a permanent thing as mine hasnt been ️️
Take Care and keep me posted
