Joint Pain months after Prostap

[victoriaat1611]

I had my last prostap injection in January and from December throughout including now I’ve been suffering with joint and pelvic pain spread in across into my lower back, hips and legs.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to breach this with the consultants?

Or how to manage it?

Daily struggles include getting up and sitting down, walking, laying down, getting dressed just movement of any kind in general

I would recommend getting your Vitamin D checked. I had terrible issues with my joints after being on Decapeptyl/Prostap and it’s because my Vitamin D was extremely deficient

Hi

So sorry to hear this. I had the same issues on Prostrap. I started taking Oesteocare along side the injections. This improved my symptoms a little. In the end I switched to zoladex which at the beginning was fine. Now a year in my bone aches are back!

Sometimes it feels like your in a rock and a hard place. I told my consultant straight up and said my joints are really bad. Depends on your relationship. I think you reach a point where you have to advocate for yourself. Its your body no one can tell you how you should be feeling. Its how you feel.

I also had great endometriosis nurses who went back to the consultant on my behalf and were knowledgeable enough to help me switch.

Hope this helps. 💜
