Experiences with

Fractures

does anyone else wish there was an excercise class available in their local gyms for osteoporosis with fractures with a suitably trained person.

I have a painful compression fracture on my T10 vertebrae after SBRT radiation on my prostate cancer tumour there. My oncologist has recently doubled my fentanyl patch dosage to 25 um/h, but the pain still remains, especially when I get up in the morning. I spoke to her today about getting a back brace

I have metastatic cp to the bone. I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current PSA is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also

Hello,I had a hemiarthroplasty in July this year and now have had groin pain for 3weeks. Does anyone have any advice/solutions on how to deal with this? Xray came back clear - no problems flagged. Thank you for reading this.

Has anyone on this site experienced breast enlargement while on TRT? Just curious as to how common this is. Am considering it because two years after ADT. (18 months Lupron and Bicalutamide) my T level is 66, PSA .28.

Originally, after a prostatectomy and 40 radiation treatments, I had a one month shot of Lupron followed by a six month shot of Lupron. My PSA went to undetectable. Seven years later my PSA crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My PSA is again undetectable and all scans

My thought is to use RT to control metastasis and prevent future fractures. Is this a good time in my treatment to begin RT? Thoughts on other therapies or approaches? Thanks for your responses! This site has been a God send.

I just started taking because I was scared into it and have a hx of fractures. Still am uncomfortable with taking it and eventually being able to come off of it. Any input/experiences with this med will be highly appreciated. Have a Wonderful Day🌹

I have recently been prescribed oral acetylcysteine as a mucolytic. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am unsure how having a greater volume of mucus to cough up will help me, and the drug information leaflet says it should not be used with bronchial asthma as it can cause bronchospasms

I am still having fractures while on Prolia shots, so they want me to "upgrade" to Evenity or Forteo. I have a fair amount of input on Evenity, but none on Foreo. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, so just a quick one. Wonder if anyone else feels a bit like me ?? I'm really struggling to get motivated at the moment. It's not helping when it's dark, cold and wet in the evenings. I love running, but time with everything (work, homelife, general everything life) is just flying by

Hi all, I made a decision not to take any medication, Fosomax etc, for osteopenia, even though my doctor wanted me to start. All your feedback was very helpful in confirming my decision. I talked in length worh my pharmacist, who agreed wirh my decision and recommended D3 and Calcium to start. I bought

I have refused all bone meds and have had no fragility fractures. I had no knowledge of hypothyroid symptoms till I was diagnosed, and have since learned much from Health Unlocked.

The pain from the fractures lasted much longer than the 6- 10 weeks the doctors suggested. Although the lung self healed a week in! However since the injury I have been disproportionally obsessed over it. To the point I think about it all day every day.

At that time I was advised by a physiotherapist not to take up running as I would risk developing micro fractures in the bones which could lead to more serious fractures later on.

speak freely. my Mum's been given these choices, i would love it if she could come off prolia, but evenity sounds too high-powered. prolia has 60mg/6months of ingredient, and evenity has 210mg/1month of whatever it is, is that right? i don't even know if i want to know. had a T11 compression, had

Hi, I am a month away from completing my initial treatment (external beam and brachytherapy, followed by 2 years of Lupron, Zytiga, and prednisone). I am not sure what to expect as my oncologist was not effusive in showing me a life I can expect. I expect that withing 3-4 months my psa will tell me

I have PALB2 genetic defect. Just completed six cycles of Taxotere as part of triple therapy (chemo, Nubeqa and ADT) for about 20 Mets (PSMA scan) mostly skeletal (no organs). Only four Mets still lit up on PSMA scan after four cycles of chemo/Lupron/Nubeqa. Next PSMA scan in Jan. 2024. Oncologist recommends

I have had one (first and only ) prolia injection in August this year . For the first time in 3,5 months - the back pain has subsided and I feel a little more human. Jaw sore ? Does this mean that my body has adjusted and will handle the 2 prolia injection better ? Or will the second injection be

Hello, I haven’t posted before. My 44-year-old husband was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been in watch and wait. We just met with his oncologist. His other blood counts are relatively stable, just increasing at a low rate. But his LDH has steadily increased the last 3 tests and is elevated. His oncologist
