Pain and prostap

Hi Ladies, I hope everyone is getting on okay. I was doing really well, I'm now 2 months post lap but now I'm in agony again. I've had two prostap injections and due my third tomorrow. I'm just wondering does anyone else find they get a flare up before the injection is due? I had a bit of pain before my last one but it wasn't as bad as this.

Hey! I was on prostap for 14 months and would get flare ups every time it was due. To combat this my consultant made them 3 monthly ones but I could get them 2-3 weeks early if I was having symptoms. Maybe this is something you could discuss with your dr? Hope this helps :)

They mentioned the three month but wanted to check I was coping first with the side effects. I ended up giving mine to myself early as they couldn't get me in and I felt better within hours. I'll ask about the three months one. Thanks for your advice.
