SpaceOAR and pickleball
Hello all,
My patient handout for upcoming brachytherapy says in bold type "...no tennis...for three months.." I was told this is because the SpaceOAR doesn't like to be jostled. I would appreciate any experiences you have had playing pickleball or being active with the spaceoar.

Hey Zzotte - you don't need a rack or bench, you can do a lot with body weight or dumbbells, which I assume you have. For legs you can do Bulgarian split squats, lunges, reverse lunges, walking lunges, goblet squats and many more variations. Single leg deadlifts. Start with body weight and add dumbbells as you progress. Pushups are great for chest, and really are almost a whole body exercise. Pullups if you have a bar, or a low tree branch would work. Planks and plank variations for your core.
I do almost the same workout as Brian except I only lift 2-3 times a week, but run 4-5 times. Been on Orgovyx for 3 months with almost no side effects and no weight gain.
Thank you Dave, great idea, I’m still learning about the Bulgarian bag, the bag is a blast, I also like jogging outdoors but peeing very 10 min put a stop to that so I now limit all my activities at home, I’m hoping that when the my treatment starts so will the peeing so at least get better then 10 min lol
