Carolsdaughter Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 My moms hurt all of the time in her rib and shoulder. Later she started having pain in her hip. That's all I can tell you. One more thing...... Using the wise words from Don "Don't borrow trouble, wait until it comes knocking at your door". It's hard I know but all we have right now is the present.

kimblanchard Posted August 4, 2003 Share Posted August 4, 2003 Now don't get too excited too soon. Alot of things can cause pain. Bill has a pain in his calf which we suspected was a met and they have done all the tests to find nothing there. Bloodwork showed everything normal - sodium, potassium, etc. So until we know more his painkillers are helping and we can't get too excited. Blessings to you, Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Christy, some bone mets hurt and others don't. If they hurt, they are usually constant. Lucie had bone mets on her upper spine, left pelvis and right sacrum that hurt a lot. She also had mets in her skull, a rib and the right tibia that did not hurt. The three that hurt a lot were irradiated and the right tibia was also irradiated because it was threatening the integrity of the bone.
