The usual treatment for prostate cancer these days is injections of a testosterone antagonist -- degarelix in my case. You get an initial high dose followed by much lower doses at one month intervals
I had the initial dose in the form of two injections on Wednesday 26th. Within hours the injection sites had become very painful and I was much inhibited from getting about as most movement was painful. It is only now on Sunday that the pain has abated to a trivial level. I expected the healing to be almost overnight but that was not to be
Apparently some pain is normal but I suspect that the nurse who did the injections did not do it quite right. One injection was much more painful than the other. I will ask my GP to supervise it next time.
