Coming off prostap

[Bethrussell]

Hi this evening it appears my sciatic nerve in my left leg has decided to trap and I can barely walk or put weight on my left leg. Iv just come off Prostap and it seems my symptoms are worsening again. Anyone else experienced this?

Hi Beth, I’ve been off it for 3 months nearly. I haven’t had nerve problems, my severe pain and stiffness from the injection have eased but my Endo pain is back with a vengeance and already been to a&e once. They’ve put me on tramadol. It’s stopped me from needing to go back to a&e this far but no where near stopped the pain. Have you spoken to your specialist?

I don’t have a specialist, the gp and gyny are writing letters to each other and I can’t get an appointment because of Covid! It’s terrible here xx

I feel for you, I’ve been in agony everyday this month and they’re only suggestion is to go back on the Prostrap injection. That isn’t a long term solution when I’m supposed to be having ivf soon. I’ve tried getting an appointment with my gynaecologist that I was seing before and nothing yet either. It gets to a point where you just feel ignored doesn’t it!

I hope you get an appointment soon hun x

Hi Beth - I came off Prostap one month ago and last night I had intense pain in my lower left hand side radiating down into my left leg. I went to the walk-in-centre toady and they said it is sciatica. Did you have any other symptoms when coming off Prostap? Also did you ever take/ continue to take HRT?

HiI am back on it now, I just remember all of my symptoms flaring up and being in agony. I had no hrt as was advised that this would counteract the prostap. So really enjoying these hot flushes in the hot weather 😆
