Hi Nicki, the radiation is not hitting this area
so it sounds like a lumbar strain. The spasms
can hurt pretty bad in this area. It doesn't take
much to strain this area, so anything could cause
this. Ice packs on the area will help alot.
I am 2 years post radiation, and I get pins-and-needles
tingling sessions in the area where I
got blasted by radiation.. I also get some pretty
bad cramps in my neck, but it lasts for only a
minute or so.
Ask the doctor or nurse to show him leg and back
stretching exercises, particularly the
hamstring muscles. That will keep the tension
off the lower back.
Hope Thomas feels better.
