I have hip pain left and right side, swollen groin lymph nodes on left side and my pelvic bone on the left side feels deeply bruised. I have night sweats now and am only able to sleep for a couple hours at a time as the hip pain wakes me. My doctor wants to do a biopsy which is fine with me as I would love to get to the bottom of this. I am highly fatigued and have severe leg, thigh, shin, and foot pain. Both of my parents had cancer. I am currently taking 2 10 MGs of Percocet, however as stated previously, it only makes the pain tolerable for approximately 2 hours. What are your thoughts?
Hi! Irrespective of family history, nodes should be biopsied or FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) done. Secondly an x-ray pelvis or a MRI should be done. Diagnosis after tests are necessary to chalk out line of action and treatment...most of the nodes enlargement are due to infection or other causes besides cancer, so do not speculate, only tests shall rule out thanks
