Hi, does anyone suffer from aching leg joints since taking Enzalutamide? I have been taking it for about 8 months now and my dosage has been reduced to 120 milligrams due to the effects of fatigue but not sure it causes the joint pain.

Thanks

  • Hi Milo, I have been on Enzalutamide for 2 years now and recently started with leg/joint pain. I am working 4-5 hours a day 5 days a week so think I’m doing a little too much. I have ice baths which really help, it seems like fluid build up. Had scans and consultant says must be my treatments. I have daily Enzalutamide, zometa (bone strengthening infusion) every 28 days and a decaptyl injection every 6 months. I’m still on full dose was offered a reduction but declined. Take care

    Regards

    Paul

  • Hi Paul,

    Thanks for your response, I"m also having decaptyl  injection, but every 3 months. I still have to wait for my next blood test to see if the reduced dose of Enzalutamide has effected my PSA. I am seeing my GP next week to discuss the leg pain.

    Good luck with your journey.

    Regards

  • Hi guy's it's not good that you should have to put up with this crap at such a young age, my thoughts are put up with the side effects if you have to, so lone as i can keep going.

    Ive been retired about 9 years now, got a wonderfull wife, so life is for living and enjoying doing what I want when I want.

  • Good luck Peter, I hope your bloods results are good news
