Orgovyx
I have been taking Orgovyx for nearly a year now, I was getting some hot flashes, however they seem to have stopped, what I am noticing now is pains in my finger joints and ankle swelling which resolves in the morning. I had my Heart checked and everything is fine, I also check my urine for protein to see if I have any kidney issues.
One of the side effects is swelling of the ankle with Orgovyx. Has anyone else experienced swelling in their ankles?
Hi
- Glad to hear the hot flashes have seemed to subside a bit for you. That can be a tough side effect that I've heard many here share about. That's good you were able to get your heart looked at to rule out any potential issues there. Swelling is definitely not unheard of, especially swelling of the limbs, which is mentioned in this overview article on the site here (https://prostatecancer.net/treatment/hormone-therapy). Hopefully, some other members of the community see your post and chime in with any related experiences. Were you able to bring up this side effect with your doctor? I'd be curious to hear what they had to say/suggest, if anything? - Jake (Team Member)
Hi Jake: I had visited my Family doctor yesterday and he reviewed a blood test on kidney function three months ago and it was normal, so that combined with my weekly dip stick test for protein he has come to the conclusion it's the Orgovyx, especially because they resolve to normal size in the morning.
In August I get another PSA test and they will also test for kidney function again.
I'm not going to worry about it, I was just curious if anybody else had a similar experience.
