Has anyone else experienced terrible nerve pain, pre-diagnosis, through your back which then moves around? It's like a crawling and stabbing feeling and is quite extreme. I've had it through my head as well but now mostly in my lower back going up and sometimes in my leg on the left side where most of the pain is located in my lower back.
Hi chop,
i have had nerve pain but it's was caused by spine compression from my desk job, rather than my cancer, I went yo a physio who gave me exercises that helped take it away completely.
have you asked your gp about it? You can self refer to physio through the NHS too, in my area anyway.
