Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
Pain and radiation along the nerve distribution may be one of the symptoms of bone destruction with nerve impingement.
Kindly meet your oncologist for getting imaging studies ( MRI ) done at the earliest.
Once you get it done, you can upload the reports and i will guide you further.
Regards.
