I've been getting aches in my upper arm mostly at night and quite a bit of stiffness in my hands could this be caused by long term use of Prostap any info would be helpful. Cheers Richard
I have been on Prostap for nearly two years and have one more year to go, but haven't experienced anything like you describe. I do take a lot of exercise (although not quite so much over the last three weeks as rowing has been cancelled) so maybe that's a factor.
yes you can get muscle pain from prostap. I did but as Saumus had said I kept exercising all the way through my treatment and this seemed to keep it at bay and also helped with the fatigue and any emotional issues which can also be a side effect. However I would still speak to your Doc/nurse about it when you next have your injection.
