Hi, I have recently been diagnosed arthritis in my symphisis pubis bone (which they agree is an odd place to have it!), also I have pain in my left hip and lower back which on xray they say was a slipped disk. I have pain in my illio-sacro joint which really is getting worse and hurts when I walk. I had cervical cancer stage 1a 11 years ago. I've had a bone scan and asked for a bone biopsy which my doctor refused as he says it is invasive. Do I have the right to demand one? Is it possible that what they say is arthritis is a recurrance of cervical cancer and which is the best diagnostic method. Please can you help with my questions? Thank you
