Though after I hurt my hip, the bone tried to heal itself. It never stopped growing. It ended up growing like branches into the muscles. I had to use radiation to get it to stop. It’s still egg size, but they are afraid that if they cut it out it would be very bloody. And that can cause it to grow back even worse. Though I can’t feel it like a point of pain, like a cut, burn, spot. It caused A.D. sweat, high blood pressure. And a very heavy chest, like pneumonia. I’ve never had that feeling with A.D. before. The actual pain is in my whole thigh area. I mean like it’s being crushed. I would dream every night that I was on fires or my leg was trapped in a car door. I went to the E.R. a couple of times doubled over in pain. I had spasms so bad I grunted. Docs just kept trying anti spasm meds, but I knew it was not regular spasms. Finely they found the problem after multiple x-ray trys. Pain meds control it. Very little spasms. My thigh still has a burning/throbbing feeling, but it’s tolerable. Though if I miss a dose of meds, within hours I’m miserable. The meds cause so many bowel issues I’m thinking of trying to cut the growth out. Greg
