I completed my prostate radiotherapy two and a half years ago - PSA all good, so far. I have developed severe pain in both legs - sometimes thighs, sometimes calves. I also have a partially numb lower right leg and foot following a severe episode of sciatica at Christmas. I'm currently on up to 750 mg of Naproxen daily, topped up with paracetamol as needed.
I have had a knee X-Ray and pelvic MRI fairly recently which have confirmed osteoarthritis in both hips and one knee. I have also just completed a six-week Escape Pain programme and am doing regular exercises, but the pain is still unbearable at times. Bedtime is particularly bad and I can't walk any distance now without sticks. Prior to my PC treatment I could walk miles easily.
I'm 78 and am wondering if this is what life will look like from now on. I'm grateful for the great treatment I have had but wonder if my pain could in any way be connected. I really don't know what else the doctor can do for me.
