General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

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
