Hi,
around christmas my mother developed a horrible cold, she still has she gets one every year. Further, she fell down 3 stairs. Her back hurt a little then felt better. About 1 week later, she carried a bag full of full cans. Right after that her back started killing and still does. It seems the pain is located around the sides of her lower back. She finally agreed to see a doc but is super scared they will say it is cancer causing the back pain. I dont feel any lumps or anything in the area. It just hurts. She is 55 and smokes. Ice seems to provide small relief so does a rubber waist support. So........
What are the odds this is cancer considering she had reasons to get sore?
Does cancer normally cause back pain?
I am so scared I really couldnt take losing my ma now. Please give me feedback or relate an incident you had that was similar and what it was. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
