Since then with 2 1/2 months of Adt (Abieterone) and now 2 weeks of IMRT my testostorone is Zero and the PSA is .o5. Will be on ADT for at least 2 years. Have noticed that since the radiation treatments have started, my lower back/hip is starting to act up. Is this one of the typical side effects of ADT and IMRT? Has anyone out there had similar side effects and if so, what is recommended for treatment. Art B

My response: probably not. I went to a CHIRO, had X-ray done in his office- I have spondylolithesis. He made an adjustment to my lower back and I was fine the next day. Had radiation treatments in March 2023- 28 visits. Had. O effect on my back pain. Go see if something else is causing the back pain as I did. Just my suggestion- good luck guy.
