Had a bone scan done on Monday, and just got a call from the oncologist saying there were no signs of cancer. Yippee! Now, off to see the orthopedic surgeon to see what is causing the pain in my hip. This will be like the last time....hoping for a hip replacement instead of cancer (before it was hoping for a bone spur instand of cancer). Thanks for all the good thoughts. Hugs, Judy

    Congrats! I went through
    Congrats! I went through that too but after the bone scan came out clear the onc sent me to my PCP who had me take glucosamine chondroitin. It did the trick. I could barely get out of a chair and walked like I was 90. Had trouble with stairs too. What ever it was never came back. I took the pills for a few months till I got tired of swallowing them. Good luck!

    Great News, Judy!
    YAY! for the bone scan results. Along with you, I'll hope for a hip replacement recommendation/solution. Sheesh! We are a sometimes odd bunch, aren't we? Hoping for anything but cancer. :-)

    Kind regards, Susan

    Good news .. Still dancing with NED ... hip replacement
    yikes ..but manageable, my mom had her left hip replaced a little over a year ago! Easier than knee replacement from what we've been told.

    Good Luck, and let us know what is recommended.

    Hugs, Strength and Courage.

    Good News!
    Good news on No cancer! Good luck if you have a Total Hip. If you have to have a Total hip, try to find an Orthopedist who does the Anterior Approach rather than the traditional approach. There are no precautions after surgery and the patients get back to normal faster. The end result is the same just easier to get there. It's relatively new and few MDs do it but if you can find someone who has experience in it, I truely suggest it. I'm a PT working in a subacute rehab center treating postop Total hip patients. IM me if you have any questions. Cathy

    sounds like you and I are going through similar problems. I have lumbar spinal stenosis and have had several nerve blocks and caudal epidurals. They help for awhile but then the pain spreads from the spine around my hips..... Hurts like heck! I had a CT scan on Wed that my onc will go over with me next week and Thursday I had a MRI of the lumbar. Rheumatologist will go over those results. Taking Arimidex doesn't help either. I'm glad your bone scan was clear. My onc hasn't said I should have one yet. Will see.....

    That is such good news. A hip replacement is certainly better than cancer. Maybe you won't need that either. They may be able to do something with medication instead.

    I am so glad that your bone scan came back negative. Good news. Sorry for the hip pain. We are weird people who are happy to have hp replacement!!!!
    My visit to endocrinologist was very informative, however we are not not sure wether pr not I will be able to new drugs to treat my osteoporosis which has developed within 5 months while on Arimidex. Since I am a poor metabolizer of Tamoxifen I cannot go back on it.
    I do have very limited options for my treatment.
    Wishing you a good visit with orthopedic doctor.

    Thank you All
    Your gracious replies certainly perked me up regarding a possible hip replacement. New Flower, thank you for your input regarding Arimidex. I was on Femara for approximately 4 month, and had such hip pain that they switched me to Tamoxifen. However, I have always thought that the 4 months on Arimidex was enough to do a number on my bones in the hip area. I was diagnosed with osteoperina at the time of my initial diagnosis, and before any chemo, so they were aware that my bones were susceptible to deterioration. Guess this is what started my problems, and they haven't gotten any better in almost three years. I will see the orthopedic surgeon this week, and hopefully he will be able to diagnos the problem....and I can get on with treatment. Thanks to all for your help. Hugs, Judy
