leg cramps after Lupron oxybutinin

Photographerhere profile image

leg cramps. After my third 3month Lipton shot and after starting oxybutinin er, i am having cramps and pain in back of left leg. Totally able to do treadmill and the elliptical but if I have to go up a flight of stairs, the leg cramps just kill me. Anyone had any similar experiences?

Sounds very familiar. I was on Lupron for 2 years and had cramps and pain in both thighs, working with the leg machines at the gym did not seem to help. The good news is that after the Lupron leaves your system working out will help you regain your muscle tone.

It’s funny the first two three months shots, no muscle cramping, but this third one all of a sudden cramps in both legs in calf and back of thigh. Appreciate your response.

I just noticed your name. I am also a professional photographer. Perhaps it is something that just develops (ha) with us.

How’s your hydration? Why specifically are you taking oxybutinin?

Taking oxybutinin er to help with frequent urination at night. Drink lots of water during the day.

Try to supplement with magnesium if you do not already. It has been helpful in my case. Often with ADT, we supplement with Calcium in order to protect our bones but it creates an imbalance as your Calcium to Magnesium should not exceed 2 to 1. So if you take 500mg of Calcium, then you should also take 250mg of Magnesium to keep a proper ratio.
