joint pain

Hi everyone,
just need to talk I guess. I am having joint pain in my left leg. I have bone mets and I am sure this is part of the pain. I just had a CT and skulletal (can't spell this correctly) they took x rays of all the bones. I hope it's not cracked. I felt better after I took a hot shower. Maybe I should put a heating pad on it. I see my onc 21st of this month. It hurts to walk and the anti-antiflamatory is not helping with it.
I start chemo next month. Not sure what yet, it depends on if the cancer is in the organs.

Oh well hope tomorrow is better.

    Sorry that you are having such a bad time. I think you should give your onc a call rather than be in pain for a week - chronic pain can really wear you down, and you will need your strength for the chemo. Plus, he/she may want to see you sooner. Let me know how it turns out, you will be in my prayers.
