pain in the same region of primary cancer, definitely calls for attention to look for recurrence of cancer. It is better to undergo MRI of thigh bone with contrast and biopsy of the area, if anything is seen on the MRI, to confirm the cancer. If it is normal, then, nothing to worry. I think, u must be undergoing followup once in 6 month with chest x ray, to also see the recurrence of tumor in lung.
