Also my wife tends to worry if I get any aches and pains ,can anyone reasure her that it’s all to do with the treatment.
Hi Steve and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that you're experiencing severe pain in your legs at night. I presume that you have spoken to your treatment team and they haven't been able to help.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the prostate cancer group as this is a great place to ask your question, share experiences and get support from others with the same type of cancer.
Clicking on the link I've created will take you to the group where you can then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help
