Has anyone had sore hips after all treatment has finished and finds it hard walking up stairs and if so what did the doc say I went and they gave me ibuprofen
Ugh the hips! Mine were bugging me mostly when I would first wake up. They felt very stiff and did every time I was still for too long. Yoga helps alot and I also started taking a higher dose of vitamin d which also helps! I don't take anything for pain at all anymore. I am almost 2 months out of treatment.
Hi Leanne :-)
Yes I had sore hips and difficulty with stairs for quite a while after treatment, but it gradually went away and I have been back to normal for a long while now. I can't remember how long it actually took because it sort of faded away so there was no particular day that I woke up and said 'Hey! my legs are normal again' but it was definitely less than a year (I think ;-)
Be lucky :-)

Hi Leanne
i have sore hips mine are the same it's worse in a morning feel like an old woman with the 1st few steps of getting out of bed it also seems worse if I'm stood still in one position for a while so if I'm stood cooking I tend to jig about I'm sure it just side effects from the treatment I take paracetamol for mine which knocks the pain off I would mention it to your CNS nurse or your consultant they maybe able to give you some pain killers it exercises to do

Becareful taking ibuprohine becasue it effects the kidneys - i was given them when I had hip pain and it's kind of gone now but rears its head now and then! Walking a lot causes my hips to really ache and hurt.
ive now been told i am not to take ibuprofen becasue I've got really bad kidneys since the treatment (I've also got stents in them) - the joys! I found a warm bath and gentle exer and not trying to over do inks and resting helps
Hi Leeanne,
Yes, my hips are incredibly painful and stiff. My butt and thighs also feel like ive done a squillion squats and legs, bums & tums classes.
My macmillan nurse said this is normal but to mention it to my team when i go for my next meeting. They will probably give me calcium & vit d tablets.
I currently rake codeine & ibuprofen on a night so i can reduce the pain enough to sleep.
Cant wait for this side effect to go lol

Hi Leanne
I get really stiff hips too, but I also have really sore knees! Do you? I don't like to take too many meds, but am doing exercises in the pool nearly everyday. This does help.

I had scans and X-rays and they came back clear and I was offered physio but because my pain went I didn't wnd up going but it's now come back with a vengance I'll be booking back in.
they usually just give you pain killers but the pain shoul subside eventually x
