Hi Fran,

I can related to what you're going through. 

I was treated for endometrial cancer in August of this year.  Since then I have experienced constant nagging ache in the small of my back, in my hips and all down the outside of my legs.  Also a stiffness and lack of mobility in that area.

I've tried exercise, I've tried resting, nothing helps.

I would appreciate it if people have found a solution to this problem.

Kind regards

Anne F

Thanks for responding.  

I don't usually do social media, but I'll look out for your page!

Like early posts I have had Radiotherapy with chemo for bowel cancer 5 plus years ago.

Increasingly worsening pain with right hip. MRI last week showed end stage osteoarthritis. Hips BEFORE treatment perfect as per pictures taken. 

It does not appear to be widely known that radiotherapy can cause avascular necrosis. The elasticity of soft connective tissue is also seriously compromised. Physiotherapist and nurses do seem to have some awareness of same. 

I have worked hard on same for past years but now know I need to do something about my hip. Experts are not rely familiar with long term effects of treatment. Educate them. Make noise. Do not just accept it so improve as I did.

Best of luck to you all.
