    @dulcea, my bone mets don't give me pain. I have what I call "pings" of very low level pain which last for a few seconds. I thought that might get more intense when I began resistance training, but no problems. Like @chicagoan, when my bs told me I had bone mets he talked about a huge one in my pelvis and the way he was talking the whole pelvis was at the point of disintegrating. I was terrified to take a step. Luckily I moved past that point really quickly.😀 If you have concerns and the pain has been with you long enough to worry you, then scans might be best to give a definitive answer about what is causing it.

    @dulcea I had on and off pain for over 3 months, which I dismissed first to be sitting on my computer for too long, bulged desk, bad workout ect. I then started having pain in my leg, couldn’t stand straight or sleep for a month, I fainted from how painful it was. I guess I didn’t want to believe it was cancer again. I got it checked and I found 6 main Mets, but a big one around my spinal cord which was dangerous. Now 9 months into my treatment, I’m declared in remission (got scan results last week :))

    From now on, if I’m suspecting anything, I will get it checked right away.

    mine didn’t hurt but gave me a pleural effusion which made it hard to breathe
