Re: Radiation for bone pain

Hi Little Monkey:

Don't forget, too, to ask about when to try kyphoplasty. My Dad just had level 10 pain in his back all last month. They did kyphoplasty and radiated the spot and instantly their was significant pain relief – from kyphoplasty. Expecting more relief over the next week from the radiation, which takes up to two weeks to see full results.

Hi Belinda,

Ya, I've been try to convince my dad to make an appointment with his neurosurgeon in the last few weeks. In the same conversations I keep mentioning that kyphoplasty can be done as an out­patient procedure.
