Experiences with

Fractures

Doxazosin, an alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist, is used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and hypertension. Alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists also inhibit growth and induce apoptosis in malignant prostatic cells. The apoptotic activity is independent of their capacity to antagonize

Not sure which study I am going to be in, uses genetic xtandi and LU177, he is sending me consent forms , he seemed pretty excited. I did show interest since a year and half on abitrone which is starting to fail . I have had two PSA readings where it increased, 1.3 to 4.4 now 5.0. He tried to get a

My hand has been x rayed and there's no sign of any fractures or breaks. Thanks

Despite bone pain and occasional fractures (all horrible experiences for him) it’s kept the cancer at bay. Three weeks ago, he went in for a valve replacement . He ended up getting Covid in the hospital.

Three weeks ago I fell and smashed the head of my humerus - 4 separate breaks, one clean through at base of head. Blooming nuisance. The weird thing is that people keep telling me it’s a very painful injury. Well, yes it has been painful, more achy really after the first few days, but RA pain is worse

Anyone know about compression fractures? I fell a couple of times in December, and the second fall was pretty bad. My back and left leg haven't been the same since, and I've been noticing how I tend to stoop over now more than ever.

Ongoing monitoring and strategic interventions will be necessary if fractures are to be avoided.

Hi, Two more recent spinal fractures bringing it to a total of nine has raised quite a few more questions. I have always been told I do not need a calcium supplement because my levels are very good.

So far it has reduced or eliminated my chronic back pain, (I had been on regular daily morphine and Paracetamol for compression fractures in seven spinal vertebrae for about three years).

Hi Gentlemen, just a question..... I have had orchedectomy and been taking cyproterone for 4 years or so. I understand it stops adrenal gland production of potential testosterone. I have been in remission since the nuts left....is it safe to stop using the drug. I stopped a couple of months ago and the

I wish I had never gone near this drug! It definitely interfered with getting needed dental work done! (And its medical mismanagement left me with a bunch of vertebral fracture leaving me permanently in pain and disabled!)

Hi all, thank you so much for this forum! My husband has been on Eligard, Erleada and Xgeva for the past month (diagnosed in February)...has anyone had a cough as a side effect from any of these? Thank you!

Taking omeprazole for more than a year may increase your chances of certain side effects, including: * bone fractures * gut infections ************************** So guess what I’ve stopped them for now No crams today 😌 but early days see what happens tomorrow onwards But that warning does seam to

In 1996 my 18 year old son fell 40 feet and as well as many broken limbs he had 26 skull fractures . Remarkably after 2 weeks in hospital he was discharged home ( no rehab ) where he spent many months recovering before he started some casual bar work ( he had been going to to university) .

I also have osteoarthritis and multiple vertebra fractures. Injectin Acemtra weekly and 10mg Pred daily (never managed to get lower than 10 but fingers crossed the Actemra will enable to do that this time).

Hello all. My husband (GL 9, PSA 77, 3-4 bone mets-diagnosed 8/19 - Casodex, Eligard, Zytiga/prednisone, plus radiation) had a CT and bone scan yesterday. Nothing of consequence on the CT. Bone scan showed “Focus of minimally increased uptake in T7 decreased conspicuity. No other significant interval

My shoulder is destroyed from osteo arthritis and is painful 24/7. My surgeon won’t operate until I am “low enough” on prednisone. How low is low enough? I have been on prednisone for 17 months for PMR now down to 12.5 mg and tapering. I flared at 10.5 last taper. Advice?

Hi Does anyone have any experience of having a trabecular bone scan please? My understanding is that these give a better indication of bone strength than a DEXA especially in petite women. There was a study some time ago showing that Chinese and Japanese women who tend to be small boned and have low

Hello, RP in 6/2020, currently monitoring slight increase PSA. I had a Ultrasound Scrotal w Duplex in 2/20 and 2/22 for soft lump and or fluid sac on top right testicule area! Sometimes more noticeable than others. Size of a marble and a little larger! Scan showed cluster of calcifications, lower pole

Hi All After casodex, lupron, Xtandi and zytiga, if someone is castrate résistant, can orgovix work and reduice his PSA ? If yes for how long ? Best regards
