Pain in pelvis area post radiotherapy

User

Hi, I'm just over 3 weeks since my salvage radiotherapy of 6 + weeks 

From week 2 I've had pelvis area lower back pain particularly on right side.Onco said it inflammation put me on co codimal and Valium Got me through the treatment.

3 weeks on still in moderate pain spreading slightly to my hips despite 8 paracetamol and ibuprofen not making a lot of difference.Radio team say keep taking the tablets 

I feel if anything it's getting slightly worse would have hoped it would have started to feel a bit more comfortable 

Has anyone else had issues with pain lower back treatment area ? And give me some advice 

I will ring GP next week if I can get through 

TIA

I've no idea what it is, but peak radiotherapy side effects are about 2 weeks after the radiotherapy finishes, so you might have to wait longer to see if it starts going away.
