I am getting some aches, but I think it is the 3-time a week 2 hours at the gym and walking 18 holes twice a week. Fir possible bone loss, those weight bearing exercises and a calcium-vt D supplement may help me.
Stay Strong Brother
I just finished 18 months of Orgovyx. Yes, it did cause muscle and bone pain. I got pain in my hands, and my knees. I got copper infused gloves for my hands, which gave much relief. Sometimes had to put them on in the night. I began a gym routine of every other day to help with bone/muscle loss. The hand pain did begin to resolve itself a few months back. It is difficult to go through the loss of muscle mass, but staying active and the gym did help.
Hey @bozly9999
I've had those aches and pains as well. I've been on the orgovyx almost 2 years now and not sure how much of the aches/pains etc.. are from the orgovyx or a normal sign of aging.
My docs recommended a supplement to help protect bones from the normal leaching of minerals that occurs with ADT therapies. It doesn't seem to help any with pain mitigation but it's supposed to help support bone health and strength in the long term. In my case it's Prosteon. It's a non-prescription supplement. That's not a recommendation but you might want to ask your docs if something like that is a good idea. There's likely other similar products on the market.
