Brief Answer: Please refer to the following answer. Detailed Answer: Hi, I read carefully your medical history and feel sorry for the situation you are in. You are saying to have treated prostate cancer and hair loss and have developed pain in legs and the feeling of "not getting muscles back on your legs". These symptoms are related to the medications you took to treat prostate cancer. Furthermore, could you indicate if you can move around and keep physically active? If not, then, the pain and feeling of "not getting your muscles back to legs" could be related to lack of activities. Therefore, I'd advise to: - take pain-killers (orally and locally) for the leg pain - start doing physiotherapy - take multivitamin supplements (especially those containing the B group). Looking forward to have the requested medical data of yours! Thank you! Dr.Benard

I am very active in the gym. 6 days a week free weights. I take pain killers prescribed by VA doctors. I take multivitamins and also take 1 ml shots of vb12 and vitamin complex 3 days a week. I can move about freely but painfully also.

Brief Answer: Please refer to the following answer. Detailed Answer: Hi, I am glad to hear that you are very active and are taking the right medications. Pain you feel in your muscles or joints could be partially related to the therapy you used for hair loss and/or cancer. Another cause could be related to arthritis. At the end, you are taking the right medications, however, you need time to get the results. All the best! Dr.Benard
