Hi @paulhenri
I'm sorry to hear about your back pain. Do you take anything for it? Let me tag a few other members who might be able to share some of their personal experiences.

Does your prostate cancer give you back pain? What other pain do you feel? How do you manage the pain?
Take care,
Lizzi

I made the decision to have my proste removed and it was not an easy time... just as hard as finding out you had prostate cancer... I was advised by my doctors the surgery was the best option because of my age and the harmful affects of radiation longterm. For me, once I made the decision, I did have the peace of mind knowing that the actual cancer was "removed" instead of just treated... which, I guess, did give me some sense of comfort.
The biggest issue for me once the surgery was done and I was on the road to recovering was the effects it had on me emotionally/psychologically, which many people in my opinion overlook. I encourage anyone and everyone, when diagnosed with prostate cancer, before and after treatment and during, to seek psychological help... there is nothing wrong with it. Medications, counseling, and just talking about your feelings can help tremendously. Do not hold it all in and try to battle the anxiety and depression because this diagnosis will affect you, no matter how strong you may consider yourself to be.
The sexual effects treatment has on you will also affect you mentally, because your sexual ability and ability to have kids will likely be affected. Your performance ability can be likely fixed, but it can still affect you mentaly. Take care of yourself.

Hello, I've been feeling back pain for months now and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the cancer. I went to see my doctor and apparently there's nothing to about but I'm not really convinced. Do you have any advice to share? Thank you!
