What are some common cancer pain conditions?
We use our advanced pain management techniques to treat the following common cancer pain conditions:
- Oral Mucositis – A common complication of chemotherapy resulting in lesions of the mucosa (mucous membranes) in the oral cavity
- Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy – Damage to nerves outside the brain & spine resulting in numbness/tingling in the hands & feet, as well as potential pain & weakness
- Radiation Therapy-Induced Bone Pain – Flares of discomfort within bone as a result of radiation therapy
- Radiation Plexopathy – Impairment of the peripheral nervous system, typically impacting breast cancer patients; symptoms include numbness & sensory issues in the affected region of the body
- Radiation Enteritis & Proctitus – Inflammation of the intestines following radiation treatment; symptoms include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, & abdominal pain
- Soft Tissue Pain – Discomfort within non-skeletal parts of the body such as the tendons, ligaments, or cartilage; this condition is often caused by a tumor pressing up against muscles or nerves
- Leptomeningeal Metastases – This occurs when cancer spreads to membranes along the brain and spinal cord; symptoms include headaches, double vision, difficulty thinking, seizures, and loss of bowel or bladder control, and pain
- Occipital Neuralgia – Brought on by irritation or injury to the nerves, this particular condition causes shocking, throbbing, or piercing pain in the upper neck, back of the head, & behind the ears (typically only on one side of the head)
- Radiculopathy – Also known as a pinched nerve, this condition causes nubmness, weakness, discomfort, and possible impairment of muscle functions
- Paraneoplastic Syndromes – Rare conditions which occur when the immune system begins attacking the brain, spine, nerves, or muscles; symptoms include impaired balance, loss of fine motor skills, slurred or stuttered speech, trouble swallowing, and memory loss
- Phantom Limb Pain – Painful sensations that feel like they are coming from a limb or body part which is no longer there, often felt shortly after surgery
- Myelopathy – Damage to the spinal cord caused by intense compression, resulting in incontinence, numbness, weakness, discomfort, and loss of fine motor skills
- Lymphedema – Caused by removal or damage of the lymph nodes during cancer treatment, this condition typically causes swelling in the arms and legs
