  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Thanx Bob ... I'll keep that phone number handy.

Right now I have two very good, supportive friends that help me see it all more clearly ... Mr Daniels and Mr Beam.

Aloha Phred,
I am sorry to hear your not so good news. If I may suggest, ask for the one month shots instead of the 3 month shot. I was on ADT, 3 mth shots for a year. The shot site hurt for many months and got to the point where I could hardly walk or exercise. The speciallist we saw said that occasionally bulk shots like that tear muscle tissue apart causing the pain. A cortizone shot helped me get back to my exercises.

Thanx to you too Joe. Back in 2007 I was on monthly shots of Lupron and experienced severe injection site pain for days after the shot was delivered.

My current Urologist (just switched) assures me that these shots (Evigard I think) do not cause injection site pain ... but, we'll see.

We do believe everything our doctors tell us, right?

(smile again plus a wink)
