Hi,just had dexa scan because of ache in upper middle back and a bit breathless, it is either osteoporosis or my hiatus hernia, I also had another psa test which is still 0.05,finished treatment in 2016 but still my testosterone has not recovered. Cheers.

Good news by the sounds of it.. How are they proposing to treat it if it's osteoporosis?

I know you where told you can't have Testosterone Replacement Therapy, but it does have to be said the thinking on this has moved quite a bit over the last few years, and it might be worth asking if it can be reviewed.

In your position I'd be tempted to go Dr hunting to find one who would let you give TRT a go. There is clearly some re-thinking going on here and you might be able to locate someone who favours TRT by internet searching. Recurrence certainly doesn't look like an issue for you.
