Hip problems post pelvic radiotherapy

In July 2013 in was diagnosed with Endometrial stromal sarcoma, I underwent 26 sessions of pelvic radiotherapy followed by two doses of brachytherapy.

soon after finishing the treatment I noticed a tightening around my hips and altered sensations in legs. Over the last few years I have had constant tightness in my hips but I have also experienced several episodes of being unable to move my legs properly, having to think about moving my legs when I’m walking, unable to lift my legs properly and an dull toothache like pain in my legs.

The drs seem unable to give me an answer as to why this is happening, I am sometimes made to feel like I’m making it up- which is very frustrating!

 I am very motivated to improve my fitness, I do Pilates and use an exercise bike but it is always a bit of a struggle.

l wondered if anyone else is experiencing similar problems post pelvic radiotherapy
