So I started oral estradiol 2mg and bicalutimide 50mg about 2 weeks ago. A week in, I started feeling these weird pains in my body. They felt like small stabbing pains that immediately dulled - almost like the pain of getting an injection, and were always in my legs, arms, or chest.
I asked my doctor about it, and he had no idea. He just said they weren’t a reported side effect of either med, and the only way to tell if it was the meds was to stop them.
I’m really paranoid about, like, fucking dying, so I stopped my medication 3 days ago and the pains have subsided. I was just wondering if anyone here has shared my experience. I’d like to know what the hell that was, and if it’s safe to continue treatment.
Gosh you know that sounds likely. I did notice other pains which I wrote away as growing pains and such, I don’t remember if I mentioned the day sometime a few weeks after first starting E where every single joint in my body hurt at the same time.
The only odd thing is that I only got those leg pains from injections, not from gel :S Still growing pains sound more likely than any other thing so far
