Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Upper Thigh And Neck Pain Be Related To Prostate Issue Instead Of Arthritis?
I am a 67 year old male. I have lower back ,hips and upper thigh pain. I have neck pain. I get up through the night to pee. I feel like I always have to go. I have been treated for arthritis for the past 3 years. I am wondering if my problems are related to my prostate.
From what you have written it looks like your have been treated for a diagnosis of polymialgia rheumatica. Regarding prostate problems, try to answer to the following questions:
- A weak or slow urinary stream. - A feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. - Difficulty starting urination. - Frequent urination. - Urgency to urinate. - Getting up frequently at night to urinate. - A urinary stream that starts and stops. - Straining to urinate.
If you answered most of them YES, than may be it is time to see an urologist. Although, in all cases I would suggest a PsA blood test considering your age and peeing frequently at night as well as an abdominal echography
