Experiences with

Fractures

(I started this post a week ago and my hips are fine now!) For the last few days my hips have been a bit achey.

Only 6 chemo sessions as MO suggested stopping after the 6th due to a real bad case of lymphedema in both legs and one arm ( the worse he has seen and after 2 months, it is not healed).

Hi to all. Since just before Christmas I have had bad pain in the creases underneath my bottom. It started off just on the left side but now it is also on the right side as well. I can hardly walk properly or straighten up. For a few days I had pins and needles in my feet as well, but that has gone now

Two weeks ago I had a two year follow up scan and was sad to learn that my spine had gone from -2.3 to -3.2 and my hips had fortunately stayed the same -2.8. ive had osteoporosis for seven years and was on Alendronic for five, had two compression wedge fractures.

I was having side effect taking degarelix what with weakness, area swelling, fever but I was tollerating it. Dr. said I could get the three month shot. What one almost killed me. the time release was litterially an ovedose. Went back to the once a month.

So my husband was diagnosed removing metastatic pc with bone Mets end of April 2019. He was given 1 month of firmagon followed by lupron and 6 doses of taxotere.

Recently diagnosed with two back fractures. Yesterday and today my hips were hurting to the point of being painful to walk. I assumed it was the fracture causing all the pain. Today it was so bad in my hips I got to wondering if it could be pmr.

Hi. I know you can't specifically 'diagnose ' or medically advise but I was wondering if you experience anything like this and if you know what it is. I can't get my doctor to take it seriously. I have a tbi that I got after a car crash in January 2007. I suffered a diffuse axon injury to my right

Husband with metastatic prostate cancer since 2012, he is on prostap 3 Psa at start 101, after numerous treatments psa starting to increase, doctor talking about Zytiga or Xtandi, i am worried about side effects. Any comments please. Thank you

Yesterday I saw an orthopaedic surgeon as I need a hip replacement and when I asked him about risks with having PMR he said it may flare after surgery.
