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.
I had my prostrate removed in 2014 due to prostrate cancer. The cancer had not spread and my PSA has remained low. I currently have pain in my hip knee and shin area. It feels like cramping and primarily occurs with prolonged standing and walking, but does occasionally occur while at rest. Just curious what it may be. Thank you
There could be many reasons for hip, knee and shin pain. since you have a history of prostate cancer so you need to keep the spread of cancer in mind.
Although prostate cancer first spread to vertebrae. If the above reason is ruled out then forget about anything else.
Just focus on hip exercises, quadriceps and hamstring strengthening exercises and calf stretching exercises. It will take time but will definitely improve.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
