I was diagnosed with breast cancer in August 2013. I had a mastectomy and LD flap followed by chemotherapy. For the last few weeks I've been experiencing horrendous pain in my hip. A GP at my medical centre suggested it might be bursitis. She sent me for an x-ray of my hip which she said wouldn't show up bursitis but she wanted to make sure it wasn't anything else. Since then I've seen a specialist physiotherapist at Wythenshawe hospital and she said it definately isn't bursitis and said the hip pain is a referred pain from my back. I've now had an x-ray of my back and am currently waiting for the results. Until I've received these I am feeling more than a little anxious. I'm struggling to walk up and down the stairs and walking any distance is a real problem As I carry the faulty gene I have had further surgery that is my other breast removed and the removal of my ovaries and fallopian tubes. I'm hoping you might be able to reassure me a little. Thank you
