Are there any else you can do? The following are some helpful tips:
- Joint to an appropriate group. If you can share your experience and talk to other individuals who have the same condition – this may be very useful to keep you motivated in treating and managing the disease. Ask your doctor /healthcare provider about the best group you can participate within!
- Manage and control your stress by doing some relaxation techniques (such as meditation therapy and yoga)! Sometimes they are not only useful for relaxation, but also help ease the pain symptoms due to the disease.
- Healthy lifestyle which may include a well-balanced diet and get plenty of rest a day. Follow all instructions from your doctor about what you should eat and what you should avoid.
- Do a moderate exercise! Once the cancer spread into bone, you may have some problems when moving some joints. However, it’s important to have adequate physical activities to promote good overall health. Ask your doctor about what kind of exercise you should do regularly. In many cases, moderate walking is usually one of common choices.
I was diagnosed in 2015 with ps a 40 and Gleeson 9 . I now have a hip and legs pain which may be caused y running but may be something else . The hospital are monitoring my ps a and every 6 months and the lessons was still low around 2 . When should I consult a docgor.
It’s hard to conclude on when you should see a doctor from here. A comprehensive evaluation is probably necessary. But in general, if the pain persists or doesn’t improve with lifestyle measures, see a doctor promptly!
Thanks ,have seen a doctor and will get an MRI scan. Guess has now doubled to 3 in 6 months .which is still low but the sciatic pain persists. Any thoughts ??
I have been diagnosed with Prostatitis and prescribed Dutesteride as an Androgen Deprivation Therapy. The symptoms which emerged after a diagnosis of BPH by another doctor, are pelvic and perinium pain and weaker pee stream. I have had hip pain which was diagnosed through X-rays as mild arthritis. I also have frequent lower back pain. I am concerned this may be cancer and would like advice as to requesting further scientific diagnosis like CT scan, MRI or some other imaging technology to identify the true nature of my condition. I’m wondering iif all these pains can be symptomatic of prostate cancer or some other ailment? I don’t want to take the ADT meds as they have sexual side effects and potential weight gain. I prefer treatments like Rezum, Prostate Artery Embolization or Urolift, before resorting to TURPS or a harsh medication. Any recommendations?
