Lupron: Anyone have muscle weakness and severe leg pain?

Posted by kam23 @kam23, Jul 14, 2023

I have PC and have been on Lupron injections every 3 months for 15 months. I am experiencing severe leg pain in hamstrings and glutes. Has anyone else experienced this or tried monthly shots?

This has been getting worse for the last 3-4 weeks. I’m afraid I’ll be in a wheelchair or have to stop this form of testosterone elimination therapy.

Oh on the other note Eligard makes your sex drive to zero you are literally chemically castrated during your treatment period.

@bonjas I was on Lupron for 2 years. I got my last injection last march. I still have no sex drive. Since my testosterone is only 16. I guess I have to wait until it goes higher. I believe normal is between 300-900. I don't want to take testosterone because of possible side effects.

@maga you are definitely right, when you said last March is it last year March or this year, testosterone takes time to build back up after Eligard treatment it is a good idea not to take testosterone meds

@bonjas It is this year. I read that lifting weights can increase testosterone. I have been doing that for a long time.
