Hi @bradleym, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'd like to bring in several members of the Prostate Cancer group who have had or are having treatment with Lupron, like @john57 @safari1949 @alanr @403211th @sannira @philnob @semeon and @vernonkent

Bradley, that doesn't sound pleasant at all. Did your oncologist suggest anything to relieve the symptoms you're experience with shot number 3? I would hate to hear that you have to endure the symptoms for 3 months.

Hi Colleen. Yes, once it was agreed that it was pain and swelling from a reaction to the shot - and not a hematoma or abscess - I was prescribed a 6-day course of methyl prednisolone. Yesterday was day one, and the pain was cut in half, I'd say. Whew, some progress. Clearly, we'll be considering other options in about 2 1/2 months. I'll review some of the other thoughtful responses to find out what's worked for others. Again, thank you all for your replies.
