There is a link to a very comprehensive article about the pain associated with the bone metastases and its management published by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) in its official journal PAIN Volume XVII, Issue 2 June 2009

Bone Cancer Pain - article
Re: Bone Cancer Pain - article
This article was really interesting. We always thought Tom's pain was due to nerves that were nicked and cut during his first surgery. Now that we know about the L4 - this sounds just like the pain he has - along with the nerve pain. Noone has really been able to help him get the pain under control and it seems to be getting worse.
