It is now 8 weeks since I have had my Brachytherapy treatment, I am noticing that I get fatigued after doing any activity for about 40 minutes or so, which I think is a common side effect, however I am noticing my pelvis aches if I bend down to pick any thing up, for example I have just cut my grass and found it a struggle bending down to pick the cuttings up as I suddenly get this tightness around my pelvis,

has anyone else experienced this?

Hi I think you are doing well after eight weeks mowing the lawn but maybe you are trying to get going a bit early as i would think you will be very bruised and tender as i was for a long time after Brachytherpy and tiredness and fatigue are some of the after affects you will have for a little while.

I am coming up to 5 years after Brachytherpy and still feel fatigued at times but it could be my age as well at 75.

I have just had my yearly PSA blood test and hope to get the results next week that i will put on the site. If you click on my avatar you can see my journey so far.

Are you on HT? Fatigue and random muscular aches and pains are very common side-effects of HT.

Best wishes,

Chris

No not on HT, only having to take one Alpha blocker tablet a day for urine flow.

Which alpha blocker are you on?
