Hi Niamph

Welcome to our forum. We are not doctors here, just other pilgrims who are travelling the cancer journey and supporting one another. The most likely cause of your pain is possibly arthritis. It is unlikely to be cancer at your age, but sadly this is not impossible. However, instead of worrying yourself needlessly, why don't you phone your GP and get their opininion?

Most consultations are currently being done on the telephone initially, but your GP can see you if s/he deems this necessary.

You may need to tell the receptionist your symptoms when you phone and ask for an urgent appointment, but she should be able to give you one once she knows what your symptoms are. I am pleased to hear that you are steering clear of consulting 'Dr Google', as this is never a good idea.

Do please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Keeping my fingers crossed for good news.

Kind regards,

Thank you very much Jolamine for your response it's much appreciated. I'll ring the gp in the next day or 2 to get some more info on what it might be , it's possibly it's nothing or maybe growing pains or like u said yourself arthritis. But you never know so just to be safe I'll give them a call , I'll keep u informed :) xx

thanks again
