Interested in others experience of pain post radiotherapy treatment for advanced prostate cancer.

My husband had excruciating pain about 3 weeks in out of 4 weeks. Ended up in A&E twice, various x rays etc. Currently on paracetamol 4 times a day, up to 4 codeine a day with oramorph as a top up too.

I have to say Hospital at Home have been great and we are now being supported by physio, OT and local hospice.

Asked for oncology review to be brought forward but this is still another 6 weeks away. I really feel he needs  full body MRI and/or bone scan. 

Is pain from RT, referred pain from mestastes?
