I wonder if anyone else has had bladder/urethra pain after being prescribed bicalutimide

No pain for me, however, bicalutimide proved to be as much use as a chocolate teapot in that it didn't arrest the rise in my PSA.

I took Bicalutamide 150 mg per day for 11 months with no discernible side effects other than fatigue. This was severe for a fortnight but then eased. No other problems

I seem to remember being told that the side effects are proportionate to the effectiveness of the drug which may explain why Chris and Col didn't have many problems?

Thanks for the replies. I have been taking the drug for two months (150 mg daily) and my PSA has dropped from 10 to 2.9. I've had a couple of urine tests done a month apart but neither showed any infection. I just get the occasional stabbing pain when I have a wee. Sadly this all comes after brachytherapy two years ago that failed to eradicate the disease.

Prostatitis would not be detected in a urine sample

I have heard of prostatitis and have recently stopped having my daily half grapefruit.... there has been a bit of a reduction in the pain so I will see how it goes.
