So good you take care of yourself. I'm not taking many steps to watch for secondary cancer . (not as much as the doctor's recommend. ) Pain is not remarkable. Looks like i could use a listen to you. Merry Christmass and happy new year.

You can ask your regular doctor for pain management or book an appointment with a nurse practitioner. I find them very caring and work diligently to help you.
I also take Gaba , the natural one. It helps alot for restless legs and pain in your legs .
You should not be in so much pain. Take care and wishing you good results.

I was almost in tears everyday due to my legs hurting. I was taking ibuprofen every 6 hours, was given Cortisone shots and put on steroids none really helped. Then someone told me about magnesium, well I tried it and I can honestly say my leg pain is gone. Hope this helps.
