Hi all,
After 23 weeks of treatment, chemotherapy then radiotherapy I finished on 13th December. No massive side effects just a bit of pain when weeing and flow issues.
My question is about HT I’m on Zoladex implants. No second line Abiraterone etc just the Zoladex. Prior to being diagnosed with PCa I had right side arm shoulder and back pain. It’s one of the reasons I went to the doctors in the first place.
During my chemotherapy I was on prednisolone and the shoulder pain almost went away. Since finishing with the prednisolone and after my radiotherapy the shoulder and back pain has come back.
It is very unlikely bone mets because I had a clear bone scan and a recent MRI after chemo and they showed no bone involvement.
Does anyone on here who is on HT have similar issues with their shoulder and back the pain is quite severe at times just trying to get to the bottom of what it might be.
Any ideas welcome!
