Arthritis upswing after radiation: Is this common?

Bone and joint pain is common if you got a course of ADT hormone therapy? Did you get ADT with your radiation?

If asking me; yes, I had a short course of ADT Orgovyx as part of my salvage radiation treatment. No discernable change in mild pre-existing arthritis.
Different possible SE: Over 2 yrs since completing radiation and ADT, my T has recovered.
However, I have "low battery". Daily challenge with fatigue. I walk more slowly and take short 30 - 40 min naps most days.
Of course, I want to dismiss (read "deny") the fact that I am now 75 and have had RP and SRT in the past 3 yrs.
Cool and cold weather = more energy. Heat is challenging.
Very grateful for I where I am. Best to all.
