prostate issue - seek help from the serious vets

[liftsiron]

specster Liftsiron,

The winny has been out of the regimine for weeks now so it is not the winny causing the joint pain. Every time I take proscar (~1 mg ed) I get heavy duty joint pain which goes away within 2 days of stopping the proscar.

I am not taking ECA or anthing similar to it. I have heard others say that Deca causes prostate swelling and guys just deal with it. What I really want to know is, is this just normal and to be expected?


Lycopene - save me some leg work. Does it drop your DHT off a cliff and make you feel like crap as proscar does or does it work in some other way? Also is it prescription or OTC?


Ok than I would guees that it is in fact the proscar that is causing your joint pain. Deca can also cause the prostrate to inflame. Try the saw p. and nettle root, you won't be sorry. Good luck.

Get a digital prostate exam. That will tell you. A PSA of 0.2 is very low. Rectal is also a good idea past 40. Why take a chance?

Prostatitis feels like there is a hot egg stuffed in your ass and you have to urinate all the time. When your doc puts pressure on the
prostate, get ready for pain like you've never experienced before.

If it is BPH, then there won't be pain (most of the time), perhaps fullness, difficulty urinating and increased frequency.

Other items to take.

Lycopene 10 - 15 mg/d

I don't know, this digital exam sounds like it could open a can of worms. What if I like it? I imagine I would have to totally stop working one of my forearms to get that limp wrist thing going, I would probably have to get a whole new wardrobe and dump my "his and hers" towels and by some "his and his" towels - sounds complicated.

Seriously, I looked into lycopene and it seems it is simply and anti-oxidant. I don't see it having an immediate effect on my situation.

I know that saw palmetto can help and I am taking it. I noticed yesterday when I bought some more that there are some choices there as well. Standardized vs. fingerprinted vs. concentrated. Is any one hands down better than the others?
