I have had wrist pain for about 6 wks…GP dx Tendonitis and signed me off work for 2 wks…was still not right so went back and he signed me off for another 2wks…but I returned after 1 wk…wrist is still not right…on top of which I have had kind of siatica pain in back on same side which went round to front of leg to knee…GP said it was effecting the femoral nerve…this has got better but can still feel it sometimes.
I’m worried as my aunt who was dx with BC was dx with bone secondaries and a lady who I went through chemo with recently had a bad back and bone and liver secondaries were found.
I think I am going to make an appointment to go back to my GP… sometimes feel like a hypochondriac.
Hi Karen
You don’t say whether you’ve had chemo recently. This can cause a lot of aches and pains especially in the area where it was administered. Someone I’ve ‘spoken’ to on here has had a problem with carpal tunnel syndrome after chemo and as this affects the wrist (I think) that may be worth checking out. I think it is worth speaking about your fears to your GP. I’m sure he can explain why he thinks it is nerve pain and also can decide if you need any further tests. If you’re not happy with his opinion I’m sure you can check it out as well with your BCN.
Hope you get it sorted soon and your worries come to nothing.
Take care

Hi Nicky,
I was dx in jan., 04, had WLE, chemo, rad’s.
The pains are on my effected side, chemo was administered in other hand.
My job [nursery nurse] involves alot of lifting so I expect this may have something to do with it.
Will get it checked out again by GP.
