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.
I should have specified in my post, but I was taking oral estrogen.
Unclear whether it matters or not, but you might experiment with other routes of administration as well as dose to see if they make a difference. Hopefully that other post will give you some helpful ideas, too, in case it’s related.
