Have Clots In Rt Iliac Vein. Stents Placed. Diagnosed With Metasatic Colon Cancer, Taking Chemo. Pain In Hip. Treatment?
My husband had 2 blood clots in rt iliac vein. Stents were placed each time. He was also diagnosed with metasatic colon cancer and is taking chemo . The issue is the reoccurring pain in his hip and groin that radiates down to his knee. This pain is very intense. He has mentioned it to the Dr. but he doesn't seem to address it , like maybe it will go away . It has been 7 months. He needs to get some answers . It affects his ability to sleep ,think clearly, being in this pain. We think maybe some kind of nerve damage? Any ideas on what might be happening ? If he did not take hydrocodone I don't think he could stand the pain. He is to a complainer . So I know it is bad.
Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic. Thank you for your query. Well, you should first find the exact cause of hip pain. It can be metastasis, degenerative disease or something third. If this is such intensive pain he should take some stronger morphium based painkillers. It can also be caused by chemo.Unfortunately this is sometimes inevitable,but he should do MRI of hip to see is there some pathology which can be treated.
Wish you good health.
