leg pain

I hope other than the leg pain and copd, you are doing well.  I'm not sure about the pain in your legs, as there could be numerous causes.  I would definitely get checked out.  My biggest concern would be have a blood clot.  I hope it is nothing serious!

Me too.

I also have pain in my buttocks, thighs, lower back and hips which I never had before radiation. But I also have degenerative disc disease in my lower spine which was diagnosed after my treatments. Doctors tell me that my disc problems are unrelated to the radiation. Only one Doctor - my Primary Care Physician - has acknowledged that the hip stiffness and pain and weakness in my thighs was caused by radiation. Like you, the pain didn't start right after treatments, I remember being able to walk without pain at first.  Aquatic exercising and stretching exercises  which I learned in physical therapy and adjustments by an osteopathic doctor are a help to me. It's been six years and just seems to be something I'm going to have to live with. It's frustrating. I hope you can get some answers and find something that helps you. 

Going to Hospital Emerg tomorrow to get looked at. Using Voltaren in the meantime. Tried a hot bath. Too damn tall for me to 'fit' in my tub..kinda useless to soak. Thanks!
