Hi, new to the forum and looking for a bit of help! 
diagnosed only this Tuesday 12/05

gleason 4+4 and told I’m having bone test this Monday and ct scan next Sunday . 

the question is I do a physical  job as a window cleaner , but for the last two days I’ve got aching just in my  thighs ! Occasional shooting pain . 
they never usually ache 

obviously concerned. Saturday morning so can’t really get hold of anyone at the hospital for advise. 

all new to me so I’m reaching out for advise . 
thank you

I'm no expert but I'd be quite surprised if your aches and pains are anything to do with your prostate diagnosis. I know when I was first diagnosed, I had back ache and feared it was to do with the cancer. 

Wait and see what the bone scan finds. With me, the bone scan found a hot spot in my spine and metastasis was suspected, but a PSMA PET Scan a few weeks later, turned out that it was a degenerative condition in my spine (probably a touch of arthritis).

Ok thx, I also think,  why would they start aching days after , that’s why I’ve asked the question to see like you if anyone had any aches or pains early on ? 

Thx for your reply.

Hi, not medically trained but shooting pain sounds to me more like a nerve/muscle issue than a bone issue.  All the best. Rob
