I know, NED any-ache-could- be- mets paranoia, but this deep aching feels different than muscle soreness. What's odd is that I never have problems with my lower back. This starts upon waking, lasts several days, goes away for days and then I wake up with it again. It doesn't get better when resting, walking or sitting. As a stage IV NED-er, I feel sort of ridiculous worrying when others are dealing with real symptoms, I was just wondering if anyone has had mets with these symptoms. Thank you for any insight.

  Maybe this is a ciatica nerve. It's best when to contact your Dr. This could be totally not melanoma related but it is still causing you pain.
