Morning,


Just a quick couple of questions if that's okay


I've been on hormone injections and prostate tablets to reduce prostate size since end of december.


I've been doing diy projects and am finding my bones are aching especially knuckles, wrists and one shoulder which i hurt earlier and in the morning joints feel stiff. - Is this one of the normal side effects.


Also i am still finding i am getting up 3/4 times a night to pee like before i started the HT etc - Again Is this one of the normal side effects. ( Could it be to do with to much caffeine intake ?? )


Your help is much appreciated


Cheers


Grigor

Have you been prescribed Tamsulosin? It may be worth considering it if not. It worked wonders for me in making it easier to pee, and now I typically only get up once during the night compared to four or five times previously. I believe that it can be bought over the counter under the brand name "Flomax".

Best wishes,

Chris
