Compliments of the season to all and thank you for your support during the past months.

I am four and a half months post RT and fifteen months into HT which ends mid January coming.

In recent months I have had soreness in thumb joints, one foot and knees the latter to a minor degree. My question is, does the panel think that this is in any way related to the HT or is it just old age (I'm 76)? If it is attributable to the HT should I be looking forward to a reduction of the soreness in the coming six months as the effects of the HT wear off?

In the meantime I am massaging Hemp Oil Joint Cream into my thumb joints having had it recommended by a good friend who has arthritic problems with his knees and has found that this treatment has reduced the soreness in them.

Thanks in advance,

Rod

My OH has developed trigger finger and various aches throughout his body. The hand consultant looked up history of reactions to hormone treatment and agreed these aches and swellings are side effects of his hormone injections

That is so interesting, I development trigger finger about a year ago. I'm 19 months post RT and 2 years into HT (Prostrap) with 1 year to go.

I was reluctant to go to the GP with as I didn't want to go trough the whole diagnosis process.

It gives me some sort of relief knowing it could be related to HT and might go once I finish it.

SheridanD & Brizzy1 My experience is more joint rather that tendon related but never the less interesting to hear that others are experiencing things that don't, on the surface, relate to the PC but more so the treatment of it.

Brizzy1 my HT is also Prostap for what the relevance may be worth.
