Joint Pain from Prostap

Stephstark25 profile image
2 Replies

I've got stage 4 endometriosis and a large ovarian cyst that I had diagnosed in June 2019 and waiting to hopefully have surgery this month.

To help manage the pain, I have to inject prostap every 10wks since Dec 2019 and since the last injection, I have had very sore knee joints which feels unusual as I'm 33yrs, average weight, exercise regularly and take omega 3 tablets everyday.

Has anyone else had this problem after using prostap for a while or could this be some other problem?

Thank you in advance for any help/advice <3

Yes I had the same. I found that switching to HRT patches rather than tablets helped and my GP gave me naproxen too x
