Hi
I am asking a question on behalf of my father. He has prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. He is in a heck of a lot of pain at the moment, the pain is in his left hip and spreads down his whole leg making it feel numb, We thought it was sciatica but after an MRI and tests we now know the cancer is in his hip and he is going to be having radiotherapy next week.
He needs better pain relief, he can hardly walk. He has tried pain relief patches, naproxen, codeine, the usual over the counter medicines - nothing is touching the pain. He recently saw the oncology nurse and she said just keep on with the naproxen - he doesn't think to ask for anything else.
Would anyone have recommendations or know of any other pain relief he could ask the Doctor for, it's awful to see him in so much pain and I can't do anything to help.
thank you
