Lupron: Anyone have muscle weakness and severe leg pain?

(1) I am an outlier. (2) I was a teenager in the 1950s!!! (3) I took ONLY two shots of Lupron and stopped in 2022. (4) I was too stupid to realize that without testosterone, I would lose my muscle mass. The doctor never told me. (5) I used to walk 4 or 5 miles every day to do errands. Walking was my only pleasure. (6) I have NOT done so for TWO years now because of muscle weakness. (7) Because I am so old, I may never regain my pre-Lupron muscle mass before I die. (8) But when I read here about the terrible suffering of so many other men, I am ashamed to wallow in self-pity.

Hi. I'm 76. I have had significant "muscle wasting", too. This was before any treatments. I've had one Lupron shot and will start abiraterone within a few days when it arrives. Will take prednisone to offset the side effects (the damage ) of the abiraterone. Medical technology seems so primitive! I too was a walker, long distance, then however triggered, aggressive cancer hit, lesions multiplied. I must say, aspirin and celecoxib greatly help. I wish you the best.
