Pain and stiffness in hands after ADT?

Posted by wrothrock @wrothrock, Sep 27 8:52am

I was on Eligard, Aberaterone, and Prednisone for two years and had two radiation treatments for oligometistatic prostate cancer. Stopped ADT in January of this year. PSA has remained < .02 since and I am starting to shed the side effects of ADT. Four months ago I started getting pain in my hands and knuckles. Worse in the morning and while I sleep. Even experienced “trigger finger” on a few occasions. It has not gotten any better. I know there was a study in Japan that indicated that this may be a side effect of ADT. Anyone else have this problem?

@q95oldies I received a 3 month Eligard a month before going through MRI Imaging. It's now been 4 months since getting the shot and my hot flashes are still as strong as ever. I'm experiencing 3 trigger fingers and all but my pinky feel stiff and achy. I'm going to seek out a hand and finger doc. Thanks
