Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Hi , Sorry to hear you are in pain. I'm on Lupron right now (had my 1st and last shot about 1 month ago). I'm experiencing joint pain also, I didn't realize it might be from the Lupron. My obgyn suggested taking a good calcium supplement. Maybe your doctor could recommend something. Hopefully it will go away soon! -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Hi guys, Is there anything I can do for the joint pain I am getting with the Lupron . This is the second shot I got and my fingers, feet and back are in pain, Not constantly but enough to get me nervous. Also, My skin is very tender to the touch. Any holistics rememdies that can help? I'm so worried they wont go away. I'm in the second week of my second shot. How long do you think it will take to subside. Thanks so much...... __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 , You may want to try taking Glucosamine. You can get it at Walmart. Tylenol makes some and so does BioFlex, but the offbrand works just as well. It didn't help me with my joint pain, but it has helped alot of women that I know. I still have joint pain 5 months after Lupron.. Please, if you are concerned about the side-effects, don't continue taking Lupron. I just found the prescribing information from the FDA and it said that Lupron is only approved to be used for anemia due to uterine fibroids. It also said that a number of women have been treated with iron and had good results without having to go on the Lupron. If you are taking Lupron because of anemia, talk to your dr about iron treatments if you haven't already had them. I don't want you to stay on Lupron and have this joint pain that lasts however long it will last. Take care hon. Love and Prayers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2002 Report Share Posted March 21, 2002 I second the Glucosamine suggestion. A friend of mine was having bad joint pain from Chemo and another drug she had to take and they told her to take the Glucosamine. So far, for her, it has helped a great deal. I also started taking it a year or so ago (due to an old knee injury). It works great. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to my Primary Dr. today, to see what see thinks about my joint pain. I have made an appointment for the embo on April 19th. and having an MRI on the 1st to see exactly where the fibroids are. The radioligists wanted to wait alittle while to let the Lupron wear off. I'm in the second week of my second shot and really can feel these side effects. This is also something weird, my body is so sensitive in area's. For example, i have a very small bracelet on my wrist and it hurts my skin. I put a small tampon on the other day and that hurt too. I'm a hairdresser and my bones in my hands feel week. So I think I'll take a week or two off after the embo because I'm on my feet all day in a busy salon. Thanks for the info. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
