What Causes Pain In The Hip Radiating Towards Leg While On Casodex?
I have been taking Casodex for 3 months now. I had Lupron injection 3 months ago.I am now experiencing hip pain sometimes going down my leg. I am currently undergoing radiation therapy for pca. Which of the 3 (Casodex, Lupron or RT) is the probable cause of my pain?
The pain you describe is similar to sciatica. This is leg pain due to a pinched nerve. It may not be a side effect of the medications you are using but due to the history of prostate cancer, it is important to discuss this with your doctor and have some examinations of your back to make sure the vertebras in the lower back are normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
