I had external radiation and brachytherapy. I have terrible sharp abdominal pain in my groin that radiates to my back, feels like toothache. Oncologist did mri, Ct and pet scan all came back normal. Dr said to go to PT and have been seeing chiropractor it helps for a day and starts again.
No one seems to know what it is and I think that drs think that because I had scans that should be good. Does anyone else have these kind of pains. Maybe it’s scar tissue or it’s from the radiation .
No one ever answers those questions.

Hello! I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer 1B stage two. I had a complete hysterectomy July of 2022, followed by bracytherapy. In March of this year I began having those exact symptoms. So far no answer either. It’s been going on for 7 months. I will keep you posted if I find out anything! Hope you are feeling better!

@jeanadair123 Is it possible that the pain is soft tissue (muscles)? Depending on what I’m doing I get groin pain that is sharp too. I went to a pelvic floor physical therapist who helped me figure out this was the internal obdurator muscle that was affected by having a hysterectomy and total left hip replacement within 3 months of each procedure. The pain has never really gone away however I now recognize the source and I have exercises to do for it.
Sure, it could be scar tissue too. What other explanations did the oncologist come up with since your scans were all negative (thank goodness!)?
