Hi everyone, a year today since my brachytherapy started, last few weeks I have started to get a lot of lower back pain, and what I think is nerve pain in my legs, burning, stinging and some unexplained bruising can anyone relate to this xx

  • How are you now? Did you manage to speak to a doctor or nurse?

    I did but no further forward really, not actually got to see anyone because of difficulty getting appointments, also my 3 monthly check ups have been by phone. No examination. I am worried to be honest

    Hi Roseanne

    I've not had any surgery yet, still waiting for scan results, but I have the same pain in my lower back and left buttock and leg. I don't have bruises but it's tender to touch. I've been diagnosed with sciatica. I'm not offering a diagnosis, just suggesting it might not be related to the brachytherapy.

    Hope you get it sorted soon

    Ali xx

    I've been back to gp as nerve pain is starting in other places along with more fatigue!

    Have had more bloods taken, one for lymes disease as I live near moorland.
