Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Such a severe pain can only occurs when you have been infiltrate with the cancer cells in the nerves.

This infiltrates can cause severe pain.

You can get examined with the CT of the lower lumber and thighs.

This can help localise the infiltration. Once the level is known we can take necessary action to cure the problem.

For the relief in the pain I can advice you should go for opioid analgesics as a pain killer for cancer associated pain. Such pain can only be contained with such a strong analgesics.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,

Hello
Thanks for query .

You have not mentioned in your query details regarding cancer you are suffering from .

The pain in back radiating down to thigh can be mostly due to metastasis in the spines or in to lymph nodes ,

You need to consult your treating oncologist and get evaluated by doing C.T scan of abdomen and pelvis and Bone scan .

Further treatment will depend upon result of these tests and final diagnosis.

Dr.Patil.
