Curious case of SVG....
SVG or XYZ doesn't matter.
What matters is post RT(Radiotherapy) and CT (Chemotherapy) pain caused after treatment in case of CA(Carcinoma) Cervix stage 4.
Yes, after successful treatment of Stage 4 CA Cervix, there were nil lesions found on doing PET scan.
Yet patient had pain (VAS 7/10)and it was since last 2 years.
Pain was mixed pain, somatic as well as neuropathic. Aching, Pulling and Burning +.
Patient was also operated for the spine in lumbar region 4 years back. Facet joint tenderness present.
After many consultations for pain, patient was referred to Pune Pain Clinic by treating Radiotherapist.

Patient had a feeling of something inside left gluteal area, which was making difficult for her to sleep and sit as it aggravated the pain. (VAS 10/10)
