Thanks for the comments. Lost the use of his legs does not mean paralysis but rather that after 9 months of ADT, he suddenly could not walk nor stand without a walker and also had excruciating pain down both legs ; a CT and MRI confirmed 2 severe fractures in his sacrum with accompanying bone loss. A trauma surgeon in Raleigh inserted 2 screws to stabilize the fractures, but after 7 months, the fractures have not healed due to the "poor quality of the bone" after ADT.

What bone supplements is he currently taking? Boniva? Fosamax? Reclast? Has to be on something if his bone quality is so poor - but these drugs do take time to work.
