All the lumbar vertebrae have compression
fractures
and an old one at T11 and new one at T8 which is 80% compressed. The spine dr has referred me to have kyphoplasty and I am waiting on the appt. He also has referred me to endocrinologist to manage the osteo once this is done.

Please share your experiences with Provenge. What’s it like getting the injections and what are your results?
I’m stage four on Orgovyx and recently went castrate resistant with three small bone mets on my upper spine so we added Zytiga. I started the Eclipse clinical trial three weeks ago with PSA of 3.3 and am authorized for up to four treatments. My plan is to start Provenge after the trial is over. What

severe leg pain with leg buckling
She insisted I attend A&E to rule out any
fractures
. So Saturday I spent 16hrs in A&E, I had a CT scan which ruled out any
fractures
, but as I have fused sacroiliac joints and 2 slipped discs, they couldn’t tell if the nerves are impacted and being compressed, so have to get gp to organise an MRI.

Wondering if anyone has had dental extraction while on Actemra. I was told by my dentist that it affects the jaw and I would need to see a specialist since an extraction would be problematic? I am in the UK and have weekly Actemra injections. Thx

Coping with lack of motivation
Hello, I suffered brain injury, contusions, skull
fractures
following a high impact RTA. I have various symptoms such as loss of balance, smell, taste, memory, vocabulary but the worst is finding everyday life insurmountable. I know what I'm capable of and do not lack energy.

Trainers
HiCan anyone help signpost or recommend some good running trainers, or a place to buy them from. My last pair were fab when I was 6stone lighter and my joints weren't as weak, but even fast paced walking is causing me considerable pain in my ankle, shins, knees and top of the foot. I don't know where

Xtandi vs. Biktarby advice needed.
After Zytiga-prednisone-lupron failed, mostly by overwhelming SE from the first two. I received my second Lupron injection last week even though there's a slight PSA increase from .83 to 1.10 (they did not do a testosterone test, wich was climbing again) Oncologist mentioned we could start Xtandi but
