I realize that this thread is more than a year old now, but jjevits pain is exactly what I am experiencing now, too. I had a total hysterectomy on 12/30/24, and it went just fine. At about two weeks post, I started to have a large rash around only one of my incisions, and then I developed some soreness in right hip. But I could manage and sleep just fine. Then, I had 2 very high doses of Brachy at 6 weeks. I was fine after the Brachy, but did travel/fly and pushed myself. Now, I'm having the same pain (especially when I twist a certain way or go up steps) in the right pelvis and hip and it runs down my thigh. I saw my Onco surgeon's NP less than a week ago, and she said the rash was an allergic reaction, and the right-side pain probably just a pinched nerve. She did not recommend any tests.

The pain is not subsiding (but the rash is with Zyrtec and hydrocortisone cream). Did anyone else have this and get to the bottom of it? They had me on Eliquis after the surgery for 15 days. I'm hoping this isn't a clot or a tumor.

@njp515 My. nurse practitioner always asks me about any new pain during our appointments. Since I have osteoarthritis and I am active (walking, weightlifting, skiing) I almost always have some new pain. However, she told me that any pain that does not go away as it does with exercise is something of concern.

I suggest that you ask to see your oncologist and ask about evaluating the pain again if it does not subside in the next. If it were me I'd push for more testing.
