Hip pain

I found my tumor back this spring, due to an indentation...you hear so much about lumps, that I didn’t realize that this little dip that looked like cellulite was just as dangerous. So I got diagnosed back in August, and have had pain in the same spot in my right hip just about a month later. I thought it wasn’t just my body’s way of handling my stress, because recovering from surgery it didn’t ache. But I started back to work, and back comes the pain.

My oncologist knows, and sent me for CT and Bone scans and I’m waiting for my results before I start chemo next week.

I guess I’m looking for similar situations, or to see if anyone has this similar type of pain? I know it’s pointless to worry, but it’s hard not to

    Your oncologist is on top of this, checking for bone mets to be sure.

    People get hip pain from all kinds of benign things, movement, twisting, sleeping wrong, tendonitis, bursitis, anti-hormonal meds, so it may mean nothing but needs checking. Once you have cancer, you cannot assume a pain is benign, especially if you did not have a baseline bone scan

    I have intermittent hip pain (have had on and off for a few years) because of side effects from aromasin--it causes joint pain from time to time. Could tamoxifen be causing this? It might be the case.
