Summary

Radiation treatment is often recommended as a safe and quick treatment that gives most people good relief from bone pain within a couple of weeks. However, some people can experience a short episode of increased pain (called a 'flare') a day or two after radiation treatment, that lasts about a day. The purpose of this sturdy is to find out if a medication called dexamethasone can help prevent pain flare as a result of radiation therapy.
