One year old from radiation. I found pain in hips. pelvis, heck...everything down there.y experience after finishing was it got worse before getting better. My research confirmed this as well. I found soaks in bath to be best pain relief. I also switched to skirts, a void tight clothing, even got some loose boxers. Sex was very uncomfortable but is better now, still occasional pain.
I started taking turmeric and black pepper capsules, get at Costco. They were recommended by chemo nurse, conferred with internist who also recommended. Much less joint pain, increased freedom of movement.
