Hi

I finished 25 sessions of external pelvic radiotherapy 11 weeks ago. The bowel side effects have calmed down and bladder effects there but manageable. But finding achy hips and lower back annoying and taking regular painkillers for it. Did talk to my CNS a month ago who said to take those and that hopefully it will be a temp thing. I have my first 3 monthly check in 2 weeks so will discuss it with the Radiotherapy Dr then but would like any feedback from anyone who's experienced bad hip and back ache and whether they have needed further tests such as a bone scan. Any advice or info appreciated.
