Experiences with

Fractures

I would like to know, if it’s beneficial to take calcium 1200 mg with 1000u D3 for someone who is on trelstar, xtandi and completed radiation. Dexa scan shows osteoarthritis. Stage 4 also with pacemaker. I am asking specifically about calcium, I am aware of D3 studies .

Hello everyone, I am sure that this has been discussed on here before, I was unable to find any post to answer my question . I am taking Xtandi ( aprox 16 months) Lupron, I had chemo. My latest PSA was less then <0.01. It has been there for over a year now. ( See my profile for my journey.) My

Has anyone taking prednisone and Actemra had a high lipase on their routine lab tests. I’m on 4 mg prednisone and bi-weekly injections of Actemra for GCA. I get lab tests every month, and the past several months Lipase is high (usually around 60-70). I’ve done a CT scan with the dye, and was told

Prior to beginning trial last June I had just gone castrate resistant and PSA was at 3.3. A few weeks after the last of four injections PSA settled in at .25 so there was still something left. However PSA now has quickly shot up to .75 And since I stopped Orgovyx and Zytiga, Testosterone is going up

I had my lupron injection Tuesday and PSA checked. PSA 0.09, three months ago PSA was 0.06. I asked my doctor if xtandi has failed, he told me not necessarily. He told me once your PSA reached its lowest point it fluctuates up and down until it stabilized. I will have PSA checked again in 6 weeks

Hi , I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis with a Dexa scan,after the MRI showed sacral fractures ,which had caused quite severe back pain for sometime. I am about to start taking Ruxolitinib for my PV.

This question is for you folks who are getting monthly Lupron and Xgeva injections and are on Medicare. I have been getting Lupron injections monthly at my urologist and was told that I had to wait a full month to get the next one. Example, I get an injection on Oct. 19 and I can’t get the next one

My treatment was for multiple fractures of my foot bones and ligament and tendon sprains. Over the course of a month or so I began to notice a decrease in my RLS syndrome and an improvement in my sleep on most nights.

Mr. Spouse 21, ten years since dx with Gleason 9 in 80% of cores, has only had bone and CT scans to track progression. That's how it was done in 2014. He's been stable since chemo with his current Eligard & Xgeva treatment--see full Profile for his record of Lupron, radiation, Zytiga (failed), Docetaxel

I know that PSA results can vary, particularly if processed by different labs. Knowing this, I do have a question. Quick recap, I completed 20 rounds of radiation at UCLA with Kishan back in April of this year. At the same time, I began 6 months of ADT. Over the past few months, while getting my

Last nerve is holding on by a thread, what with the 9 fractures and all. I don't feel the taper should be started this week. Thoughts please?

I have read with increasing angst, about people having fractures whilst exercising. Just want to ask if there was any sign or pain or indication that something was about to happen or did the fracture just occur? I guess I want to find a way to prevent any fracture.

Had my flu and COVID boosters on Tuesday. Felt fine yesterday morning other than two sore arms. But when I started running I had no energy at all and ended cutting it short and walking home. I do hope it’s the effect of the boosters. Anyone else got any experience of this?

I have been doing a lot of research on natural ways to treat Osteoporosis to improve the strength of my bones and reduce the likelihood of future bone fractures. It is confusing as there is so much conflicting information, but there is a lot of information available.

Doc says that our goal is a cure despite the fact that I am a Gleason 9 with Decipher score of 1 , the highest for metatastic spread. (PSMA PET was negative.) The highest my PSA has ever been was 5.48 in December 2022 and it dropped to .09 with Testosterone of 14 in August two months after a shot of

The enzalutamide monotherapy was almost as effective as enzalutamide plus leuprolide with fewer hot flushes, hypertension, falls and fractures. The reduced fractures show that the monotherapy avoids bone loss. Therefore, Xgeva is probably not required.

I have severe OP, had 5 compression fractures, 2 years of teriparatide, now on Raloxifene. Over the last week I’ve had nasty hip pain, much worse at night. It eases with exercise, is worse with sitting and standing.

But what struck me was this extract "For postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, you should use a bisphosphonate as first line treatment to reduce the risk for future fractures. This is given a strong recommendation based on a high certainty of evidence.

just to complete the replacement of my right side joints I’m down for a reverse shoulder replacement in 6 months - strikes permitting! New shoulder will complement replaced knee and hip. But the irony for me was when she asked how many mgs of prednisone. I am currently on and I expected at least a tuttut

I was sent for X-rays to make sure there were no stress fractures, which there wasn’t. I was then referred to rheumatology again ( privately). They did bloods, and I was called last week to say my ANA was 1:640 homogeneous . ENA was negative for rheumatoid factors.
