I have a question to those of us using Lupron

Great question. I have been on Lupron for almost one year. The pain in my legs is getting unbearable. I am going to stop the shots. Before taking the Lupron i was able to walk 5 to 7 miles a day without any pain. Most of the time it was on the beach to give my legs a extra workout. Now I am lucky if I can walk half that on a good day. My urologist doesn't want to acknowledge this. In his report he NEVER puts this in there. He also never put in there when I had a rash that started after the first shot and got worse after the second one. Even when i went to dermatologist they said it was probably from the shot. Again he never put it in the report. It makes me wonder as to the reason for this. I have drawn my own conclusion. Wishing you the best.

Get a new urologist. Best wishes.

If a doctor does not put something in their written report that you feel should be there, message them on their portal and insist that they do so. I ALWAYS review my doctors' and nurses' post visit notes. They're generally accurate but they have made mistakes, and I message them to point these out. I also make sure to download copies of both the reports and the messaging. I consider this a precaution and also something useful if a new doctor has to take over and is reading the notes to familiarize themselves with my case.
