What Does Abdominal Pain While Suffering From Prostate Cancer Indicate?

I have recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. About 10 days ago I got an injection of lupron and started taking one 5omg tablet of bicalutamide per day. I have not started any other treatment so far. Yesterday I started having pain in my abdomen. The best way I can describe it is a feeling of stiffness or straining like when you over-exercise however I really don t think that is the cause as I have not been active. The discomfort is mostly on my right side near the bottom of my rib cage. I am concerned because it seems to have come on for no reason.
