Hi,
My dad has been having pain in his low back/waist area (right where a belt would be) for about 2 months. The pain also radiates to the groin area and the front of his right thigh is numb at times. The only relief to this pain is lying flat in bed. Let me also add a little more medical history on him. He has had prostate cancer (part was removed), kidney cancer (they removed one kidney), and removed part of his liver. He was told that it was just back pain due to the L5 vertebrae. Could it be more or am I being overly concerned? I am always worried about the cancer returning or spreading to bone cancer. Thanks for any and all advice!
