Hip pain?

[Archeveritas]

I’m experiencing weakness and spasms in my hips. I can walk for awhile but then have to rest. The feeling is hard to explain. I’m thinking it might be related to chemo or radiation. Arthritis has really flared up in hands and neck. I tell myself this is small potatoes compared to the big picture. I’m so grateful I’m still here! Please share if you have had some of these symptoms post chemo or radiation. I’m one year since last chemo.

I am 2 1/2 years out from chemo. I still get weakness and spasms in back, hips, and legs.

I guess it is part of the side effects. Thanks for your reply! We will just keep on keeping on!

Arche, After 6 months of carbo/doxil for a first recurrence, I now have severe, late stage osteoarthritis in my hip and elsewhere. I did NOT have this prior to treatment! My previous CTs and scans did not reveal bone deterioration! Chemo and steroids CAUSE osteoarthritis! I had a TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT a few days ago. The carbo/doxil put me in remission, but it's also ruining my bones.

My thoughts are with you as you recover from hip surgery...as if you haven’t already been through so much! My scans did not show any deterioration either. My fingers are useless and I fight to walk everyday. Exercising in the pool has helped some. Stay strong!
