What To Do If Had Burning Pain In Hip Joint Considering Having Stage1 Breast Cancer 15 Years Ago?
I am a 54 year old female...have had stage 1 breast cancer 15 years ago...last 2 weeks my left hip as been bothering me....nothing definitive at first....I mean it doesn t always hurt when I walk the dog or wake up...but right now it is burning...feels like the hip joint...I will most likely call my pcp tomorrow...but of course am worried and fear the worst...
I think this pain is not related to your breast cancer which was 15 years ago. It may be early arthritis or osteoporosis. I suggest you to go to the doctor but not be worried as it is not related to previous breast cancer. I would worry if that pain was 5 years after the breast cancer but not 15 years after.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Edvin Selmani
