Trying to reduce Medrol
Diagnosed quickly in May in US. Pain control worked at 32 mg Medrol. Currently at 20 mg and feel pretty good! Shoulders are sore in the morning but mild compared to initial onset pain. Due to reduce again in a few days and wondering if I should go to 18 mg or down to 16? I keep reading 10% reduction

Shortest Time Between Steroid Sets?

Unusual soreness from Lupron shot
I had a 4 month Lupron shot two days ago and I can hardly walk. It is somewhat better today than yesterday but still very painful. I have had 3 Lupron shots before but never had such pain last so long. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Some good news for me.
Finished my 28 rounds of IGRT In March this year. My PSA had started to creep up again so my MO and RO suggested this treatment. I previously had chemo in 2016 and since then been using Lupron and Zytiga as my regular regime. I was please to see my Blood tests come back today with a PSA down to 0.1.
