Brief Answer:
possibility of bony metastasis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your query,
You need to confirm the cause of pain.
Ye,s hip arthritis can lead to pain radiating from hip to tail bone.
But MRI hip with spine will help in diagnosis.
As you had prostate cancer there is possibility of bony metastasis to spine leading to groin-tail bone pain.
I will advise you to do PET SCAN for metastasis.
Till time for pain you may need to change to another opioid analgesic with higher doses or local injection shot may help. You need to consult your doctor for change of medication and further investigation.
You may need further investigation to rule out malignancy.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
