Can Tumor Cause Sudden Soreness In Leg Leading To Inability To Walk?
My Dad has a history of adenoid cystic carcinoma. It traveled to his left hip. He had radiation to that hip and his tumor was gone. He is taking a chemo pill as a preventative measure. One week ago, he was walking/ moving perfectly. In the last three days, he said that his left leg was sore. Yesterday, he couldn't move it at all. I thought that maybe he was too active with this leg given the damage from radiation. His last scan (3 months ago) was clear. Could a tumor cause this so quickly?
