1. I had my first shot of Lupron in May, 2022.
2. I had another shot in August, 2022.
3. I then decided to stop it.
4. I was told that my testosterone would return in 6 months.
5. It is now August, 2023.
6. My latest testosterone test says my level is now up to only 119.
7. With such low testosterone and loss of muscle mass, I am no longer able to walk to the store as I had done regularly before I started Lupron.
8. I do not have the confidence to step up on curbs or step down from curbs.
9. I have to hire a caregiver to take me to the post office or doctors' appointments.
10. I am essentially home-bound.
11. I am 86 years old.

Very sorry to hear of your difficulties.
Might you feel comfortable walking a little bit with canes or walking sticks to perhaps maintain the mobility that you still retain?
Have you considered a trial of physical therapy?
Prayers for your recovery and comfort.
