Hi, so dads been in hospital a week where he was told yesterday that an MRI showed some compression on the spinal cord. He got a dose of radiotherapy and now it's just a waiting game to see if it helps. Hes still very sore and we dont know what's going to happen from here. Very scared.

I’ve had 2 courses of radiotherapy to my spine and I found they were very effective, although it can take a week or 2 before you really get the full effect, and there was a pain flare-up immediately after the treatment. All the best!

Hi dark warrior, was this for compression too? Yea dad was very sore on the same day I didnt think the flare up would happen so quickly! Although he was in a lot of pain beforehand too. Thanks for that, I will let him know when I see him later. I think it helps to hear other peoples experiences even though we are all different.

Hi Miffy, no I didn’t have actual MSCC. In one case, they headed it off before it became an MSCC. In the second case, it was a met squashing the nerves to my right leg and causing a lot of referred pain there. Now pain-free, thankfully. Good luck with everything.
