I just opted for my first 3 month Zoladex after 6 months of monthly. The problem is for the first time it bled and I have a largish bruise 6 days later and still a bit painful.I do have some fat around my stomach but I am only 54 kilos and BMI 20 as I had polio so already have a lot of muscle loss and fatigue leaving aside the treatments for my PCa.
The problem is I also started Alendronate 5 weeks ago. I am feeling more achy, more loose stool and a bit more wired ! The problem is what side effect is due to what! So is it that the Zoladex is in the wrong place maybe near or punctured a blood vessel and is releasing more faster ? Or the weekly osteoporosis alendronate causing side effects or just gradual impact of treatment on my already low muscle strength and quantity. I did wonder if the 12 week implant had a bit of a bigger surge early on.
Should I get GP to check the implant - or am I worrying too much and just wait a week more to see if it improves - what’s due to what is SO difficult.
