On Friday I had a one off blast to help with the pain in my hip. I was a little smug as I had 20 in 2004 with the primary bc. Well the pain is horrific and I can’t walk at all now.

 

I was warned it could flare up for a few days but does it get better?  I was told it would reduce my pain but now wonder if I made the right choice.

 

Any advice apart from painkillers and hot water bottle.

Hi, I’ve had various rads and without exception the pain went but not before feeling, at first, worse. It’s very early days if you had the blast on Friday, you should find it goes as suddenly as it came on. Might be a couple more days, I think my symptoms were usually 4 days ish.
