Hi everyone. I am new here. Had endometrial cancer last year and radiotherapy. Ended in March. So 12 weeks ago I tore ligaments in knee and been in a lot of pain and unable to bend it. So most weight been in other side. Now really bad pain in lower pelvis at back on that side it goes along bottom of bum and at tail bone. Walking horrendous and things that involve lifting legs at all like moving in bed. Doctor said it’s most likely compensatory pain but I’m worried it’s pelvic insufficiency fracture. Doc said unless I fell etc it couldn’t be that is that true?
Hi Sandra
Welcome to the Womb group.
I am sorry to hear that you are having some bad pain in your lower pelvis.
I remember my radiotherapists and also my CNS saying that with those symptoms to contact them and they would likely get me in for a scan.
Is it your GP who said it could be compensatory pain or your oncologist? If it was your GP I would be inclined to contact your CNS and ask for some advice, specifically asking could it be a pelvic insufficiency fracture. It may well be that it is compensatory pain after your knee injury but I would think it wise to rule out anything else.

Hi Sandra
If you are on patient led care I would advise contacting your CNS in the first instance and ask about a possible scan/appointment
