Prostap and body aches!

Hi

Does anyone else suffer with body pains especially in my back on the prostap injections. It’s particularly worse when in bed, can be lower back or at the top of my back and neck. Having said that it can be anywhere my body constantly feels like I’ve done a marathon somewhere is always aching! I am taking vitamin D and calcium supplements. This is my 3rd injection and is keeping my endo quiet so that side working.

Yes, me too.

I’m 7 months into Prostap and I couldn’t tolerate Tibolone. In the last 2 months I’ve had bone and muscle pain in particular my knees and shins. Worse if I exercise and that makes me ache more at night time. I feel like I’m 90!! Struggling to kneel and climb stairs at times.

I’m about to start Oestrogen gel and progesterone tablets so hoping that will make a difference.

I took cod liver oil too to help with this. 🙂

This could just be menopause symptoms. Oestrogen is an antiinflammatory so as that drops, joints can flare up. Are you on HRT? Maybe you can look into raising the dose, although that is a balance with endo.

Yes I’m on tibolone and it has been great for me. I’ll ask the question thanks.

Yes I'm on tibolone too, I don't have hot sweats but do get the body aches. I'm having a hysterectomy soon though so I'm going to ask about her after that.

Hi Loki1980,

I feel for you. I'm currently on my 2nd round of Prostap and I can also relate to the constant muscle aches, joint pain and the tense muscles.

Like you, I'm having new pains all over my body everyday. Some days I wake up with a cramp in my hand, where it is literally locked up. Or some days tense thighs like I have run a marathon.

Currently I'm unable to lift my arms above my head, as I have muscle tension and stiffness.

But on another note it's keeping the endo calm. So I guess I take these symptoms any day rather than the nasty debilitating dying endo pain.

Try get some hot bath socks, that should relax your muscles for a bit 😊.

Not what you're looking for?
