Post Orchidectomy Hip and Back Pain

I have recently been diagnosed with non-seminoma testicular cancer. I had an orchidectomy around 3 weeks ago. The CT scan results show “borderline” spread to my lower lymph nodes, which will remain under surveillance

I am currently feeling pain in my hip and lower back area (the same side as the tumour was found). Has anyone else felt these symptoms post surgery? And was this because the cancer had spread to your lymph nodes?

Thank you

Sonny.

Apologies for the delay in responding Sonny. By now you may have already found an answer to this question. For the sake of others, I will say that I had symptoms of lower back pain after my orchidectomy and this was due to spread of the cancer to my lymph nodes. If there is spread to the lymph nodes this can cause the lymph nodes to get larger and the pain that results is cause by the nodes pressing against the nerves causing the pain.

it can become unbearable so seek medical advice.
