Hope you all having a good day as can be. i had SRS treatment abut 7 weeks ago all went well, but latly i have this pain at the back of my head which i can only describe like i have been hit with a plank of wood. It seems to come on after been up and about. It hurts to move my head from side to side. i do have arthritis in my neck and was woundering if the radiation treatment could be effecting my arthritis. anyone eles had this feeling after SRS treatment.
Hope you are well, i did mention it when went for follow up after treatment it was not my consultant thou but a young trainee. She asked if it had got worse i said no it is just present after getting up and about. my scans are 5th july so i will give the nurse a call see what she thinks.
Thanks for message, i am attending a seminar at bristol on 17th june for a melanoma conference. we are staying in bristol for two nights. will let you know how it goes.

I've had SRS on two separate occasions but never had the pain you are describing. I would check with the doctor to make sure there's no swelling in the area. Best wishes!

As a data point for you, I've had SRS two times also, like Rosa1, but haven't experienced any pain like that in the weeks and months afterwards. So in my case, I'd probably report anything like that to my docs.
Have you ever felt that kind of pain from your arthritis before? Or is this not feel like anything you've felt before?

It is a strange feeling like numb with pain my arthritis is in my neck , spine i do get pain a lot in my neck when turning left to right always. This is at the very top of my neck just where the skull starts. So is different from my normal pain but could be stress and tense from treatment and worrying.

My Mother's radiologist and neuro-oncologist ask if she has headaches every time she sees them. Headaches could simply be a side effect of the SRS treatment, but it could also indicate a new metastase or even bleeding of one or more treated metastases.
