How does the pain in bone Mets feel. Or do u have pain?
My dad has bone Mets in femur and humerus bone but when I ask him does he have pain in those areas he says No.
So does anyone with bone Mets not have pain? I would think one should have crippling pain he claims he doesn’t so I find that unusual? Can anyone help or explain? The scans shows possible bone Mets in those two bones? He was diagnosed in December 2014 he never had pain then or almost 5 years later
Thank you
Olivia
People usually only have pain from bone mets if they are pinching a nerve or cause a fracture. Then they get radiated and the pain could be palliated. I would believe your father if he says he has no pain.
Sometimes there are people who are covered from head to toe in mets and they have no idea something is wrong until a fracture occurs or something becomes obstructed when they have to urinate. I've seen that here a few times.
My hubby has extensive mets throughout and has not complained of bone pain. Dx in 2017.
My scans show bone mets but I don't have pain ..only vague soreness in lower back.
Wow thank you to all of the posts it’s very scary to think one doesn’t have pain when there is cancer in the bone. But again thank u I though maybe my dad had a rare case? Thanks again
logically speaking, I consider lack of pain as a positive sign. Pain is a signal from our body that something is not right...Pain is basically a cry for help by the body asking us to do something urgently. May be bone mets are superficial and mild...scans are very sensitive..they pick even mildest met and make people really scared.
I have Mets to every bone in my body, Femurs were bad as it got into the Marrow. It's a constant pain that can build in intensity and fade into a dull ache.
I also have neuropathic issues best described as dropping off the curb in your dream and jerking awake, I have other medication to help deal with this, and will see the cancer pain specialist again tomorrow.
The more I walk the more pain I have at night. Doc has got me on Morphine and other drugs which has been a great help but still not 100%. I also have pain in right Ribs and right groin.
Some days are tough but trying within reason to be as active as I can, if I stop moving I'm guessing it would become worse. I'm only 56 and last Summer I was very active in work and sports, it happened all very quickly.
I’m sorry to hear that. I feel awful for you. I hope u can find some relief u will be in my thoughts. Thank you for sharing.
if lower body has pain..i will lie in bed and move my upper body as much as possible.
Geez......... I'm at a loss for words..
Good Luck, Good Health Good Humor.

Have you considered PSMA Lu-177 Ligand therapy. I know its still in Clinical Trials in USA, but is available in Germany, RSA (Pretoria Univ. cheapest) and Australia where I live. My brother has had 4 injections over 18 months. Very expensive, but 50+ bone mets have gone.
Pain is a later development
Mine has always started with minor aching in the bone which gradually gets worse until I have to start taking painkillers or have the tumor radiated. When first detected by bone scans I typically don’t have pain but as the tumor grows within a few months the pain starts.
The nerves on the bone are on the outer surface. Mets into the bone marrow away from the nerve networks may not hurt.
