Anyone on 3 monthly injections of Prostap experienced what my oncologist diagnosed as ‘proximal myopathy’ I.e quite severe loss of muscle strength in arms and legs plus associated bone aches and pains? She has now taken me off Prostap after just two injections annd expects me gradually to recover my strength. I was a reasonably fit, active 82 year old before this happened! Pp
Hello Argus
I can't answer your question as I have had only the "usual" side effects from my Hormone Therapy, however by me replying to your post it will be "bumped up" back to the top of the page and I hope seen and answered by others.
Best wishes - Brian.
