I've been having burning pain in my thigh the past couple of months.  Went to PCP today and start prednisone tomorrow. If that does not help then I'll probably going for nerve test and/or MRI. He thinks it's pinched nerve..Does a pinched nerve last months?

Very nervous this is mets. 

What does mets to bones feel like?  burning pain?  I'm scared to death!!!

    Jan, my bone mets don't cause me pain but from descriptions I've heard the pain is not burning. And, yes, a pinched nerve can last for months and even years.

    Of course you're scared to death! BC is a nasty monster.

    All the best.

    Leah:

    Thanks for the reply.

    Started prednisone today so I'll give it a couple of days to see what happens.

     Please say a prayer...

    All the best to you
