Experiences with

Fractures

Fractures Mt back L4-L5 in July 2022 and my right femur at the top in July 2022. I have a titanium rod inserted into my right leg from my knee upwards and screwed into my right hip. I'm in pain and have problems with my right leg. Still using a crutch.

I did protest because I can never walk far because of my 7 spinal fractures. I normally drive up there and I can walk down the corridor. But I haven’t now got the strength. I will be 80 this year I have got attendance allowance. Not that that helps me to walk.

We just saw MO on Friday and PSA came back .4 that’s double from November 3 at . 2 , My husband has been on Zytiga for three weeks.. We really thought PSA would go down maybe it takes more time he’s freaking out any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thx

Hi Again Brothers, Thanks all for tour contributions when I was experiencing Provenge side effects. My fever broke early Sunday morning! On to my new question, when I saw my MO last week, we discussed me going on Taxotere/Docetaxel. Later that afternoon my MO called me and said I did well on Erleada

I've had no fractures. My diet is good and I exercise. The consultant I had today said as I'm not tolerating the medication and ranges are low recommends I only take the Vit D/calcium tablets for 3 years. Ince I reach this point have another scan and go from here. Sounds good to me.

After several spinal fractures and a loss of 4 inches in height I have kyphosis and the dreaded osteo tummy. Finding clothes that fit well is so frustrating. I’m not an ‘old’ lady so want to look fashionable. Please don’t direct me to the woman at ROS who gives tips as I’ve not found them useful.

(That is where I keep getting stuck) Just went thru terrible 5 month ordeal with new fractures in spine. I finally decided to face my fear and go on the bone med Forteo. I have a total of 8 fractures. I was very surprised as my dexa scan had improved considerably.

Obviously I don’t want any more fractures either! It’s a pickle.

Anyone had this please with their spine fractures.

The possibility of the development of osteoporosis with insufficiency fractures of the sacrum should be considered. 2.

Hello friends. We went to the radiologist yesterday. My husband will be getting an MRI with contrast. With that, he said he would be able to see anything going on with the lungs. Dr has also ordered Xtandi and the Lupron shot after radiation if it doesn't completely work. They have decided to do five

Well, my PSAs have started rising. I have one more late next week. In the past, Lupron/Casodex has successful knocked the snot out of my PSA's. Dr. Lam has suggested that I do Orgovyx next time. I have a video chat with him on the 16th. Barring a pleasant PSA surprise I will need to start it PDQ*!!

Main Outcome Measures: Fatal and nonfatal endpoints were considered for cardiovascular disease, dysrhythmias, and .

My aim is to request an urgent medication review, include my recent BT results, summarise my research, especially that which states T4 should be at the upper limit of normal and that low TSH does not increase risk of coronary disease or fractures and quote NICE guidance 1.1.2 & 1.5.4.

A bone density test is painless and quick and can see signs well before osterporesis fractures etc. I'm on 5 months of ADT (Firmagon first, RT with Lupron, then after RT added Abiraterone plus Prednisone.) GLTA

Bones have a natural ability to heal themselves across small fractures — in humans, five millimeters or less. For bigger defects, doctors use a range of solutions, often grafting bone from elsewhere in the body or using implants.

I am not tolerating Zytiga well at the moment because of high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat and possible Atrial Fibrillation. I have a clinic meeting coming up shortly and am looking at alternatives so that I can speak to my oncologist with some understanding of the possibilities available. I

There are no compression fractures. Endplate sclerosis seen C4-5. Anterior osteophyte formation seen C4 and C5. The neural foramina, spinous processes and odontoid unremarkable. No prevertebral soft tissue swelling. IMPRESSION: 1. Very mild retrolisthesis of C5 on C6. 2.

Coughing is painful, having 4 spinal fractures in April. I’ve now been asked to change to zolondronic acid, yearly infusion. This is NOT the same as denusomab. is anyone on zolondronic acid, and if so, how have you found it, please?

Quick summary - my asymptomatic husband was diagnosed in June with metastatic prostate cancer from his pelvis to his lungs to the soft tissue in his brain.  PSA 9 at the time.  Lung biopsy and gene tests confirmed ordinary adenocarcinoma. He was immediately given Firmagon (which then moved to Lupron)
