My right side pelvic bone started clicking loudly when I turn, especially in bed.
The sound is loud and deep and the click is uncomfortable (I can feel the movement, it's almost like a clicking double joint) but not especially painful. Very disconcerting.
This started several months ago. I saw a locum GP around a month ago and he was quite dismissive, "I don't think it's anything to worry about".
I have an uncomfortable sensation in the hip all the time.
Should I push for further investigations or stop fretting?
I haven't had previous hip problems.

Thanks Chris, I have tried to ignore it but the longer it went on the more I started to worry.
Sorry to hear there is a chance you have abdominal mets.
I truly hope we’re both still here fretting 5 years from now my friend.

I have a double clicking hip, a long drawn process eventually led to an x-ray and a diagnosis of ostio arthritis.
Thanks Chris

When I was being diagnosed for PCa I was struck by a severe hip pain while on a walk. The day after it got worse and took 3 months before I could sleep on that side, it was very tender. I was convinced it was PCa related.
When I got up in the morning it felt like someone was twanging a violin string across my hip in sort of double twangs with each step. That went on for a few months but got slightly better every few days.
The GP said as my psa was by then post op undetectable and it was getting better it was almost certainly arthritis. Over 2yrs later it's still a bit sore if I sit in certain seats, like car bucket seats.

Hi,
Id say if its worrying you its not going to stop until you have it checked out, it’ll always be at the back of your mind. My hip does exactly the same, and can be painful. Im 43 and female, so nothing to do with the prostate, but maybe arthritis. I keep saying Ill go and have it checked out, but haven't yet 🙄.
I'm sure yours is just an age thing too, but I can see why you re worried.

As you have never had any suggestion of bone mets and your PSA stayed nice and stable throughout HT/RT I think this is most likely a side effect of the relaxed / loose ligaments & tendons.
I would go see a physio that knows about cancer treatments. My daughter (hospital based community physio) commented recently on how few referrals she gets from urology / oncology :-/

We all tend to focus on more and more aches and pains as a worry when we have PCa. My legs and knees are so bad I swore I had mets. They used my PET scan to zoom in and I just have “mild” osteo arthritis, although it’s agony. Like yourself my right hip became agony. I literally can’t put my right sock on anymore stood up. Awful pain. They checked that too and within wear and tear ranges again for my tender age lol. Now I’ve been told I have possible mets in my abdomen every twinge makes me worry , whereas it’s probably the Thai Green curry I had the night before. Here is hoping we are still worrying 5 yrs down the line mate

Yes but I was being slightly light-hearted.

Are you sure it's your pelvic bone. When I was being diagnosed I got a huge hip pain while out on a long walk. On the day after I couldn't walk and it was like there was a violin string scraping across my hip bone with a sort of click feeling and I couldn't sleep on that side.
It took 6 months to become non-intrusive and I was convinced it was PCa related although my GP said as my psa was undetectable and the pain was reducing it wouldn't be related and likely to be arthritis. It's still not 100% over 2 years later.

I’m not certain its the bone itself. it does feel like it.
Glad to hear your hip pain appears to be non PCa related.
cheers.
