Hi, I've recently had my RAI treatment. Last Sunday (5th) I had my first injection abs had the second on Monday with the iodine capsule then on the Tuesday.
The injections didn't hurt to much having them done, but I did have sore buttock muscles at the site afterwards. This seemed to ease but now that I am home and getting on with life they are really hurting again!
Just wondered if anyone knew why or experienced similar?
Thanks
Hi J85 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I hope that since you posted this your muscles have stopped hurting. Responding to your post will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be easier for someone with a similar experience to see it.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'.
