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.

      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!

      Hi Scooby,

      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?

      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.

      You should contact your doctor right away.

      Good luck!
