Side effects

So, I’m 22 months out from prostate removal and 5 months out from 35 prostate bed radiation treatments Received my 2nd and last lupron shot a month ago

1 - Haven’t had an erection since December of 2023. I guess I can kiss that goodbye 🧐

2 - Only issue I still have from the prostate removal is some minimal leakage during the day. Every day. Switched from boxers to briefs and the briefs are good enough. No pads

3 - After 5 months, I still have an issue with wet farts 🤣. Manageable, but I don’t like the skid marks they leave. I buy new underwear when stain won’t come out 😎

4 - Lupron shot : What I’ve noticed most is the increase in tension on my joints and ligaments. Sometimes, it feels like my hamstrings are going to snap. Morning hot baths help a lot as does ibuprofen

Well my friends, that’s all I have to say about that

Hope everyone has a great weekend 🚜🐝🚜

    Hi,

    You might try a light duty pad under you bum to catch the wet farts. Might save on some underwear, just a thought. The pads cost about 40 cents per use.

    yeah. Thanks

    i may do that. Looking to find out if it’s a permanent thing or will go away like most of the other side effects have
