Could sciatica be another symptom of PRD?

I have had various bowel and bladder problems following radiation treatment and for the last year or so have also suffered with sciatica. Has this happened to others and could it be connected?

Hi

Yes sadly, this one of the symptoms

I’m in pain daily, sometimes it’s worse than others

On zoom meeting we had at the beginning of June, we had a guest speaker Rhea Crighton

On pain management

I don’t do twitter, I know she does

Sending you Wendy hugs 🤗 🤗🤗🤗

Sorry you have to go through this
