Hi <inline-mention username="John D" user-id="4589043"/>. Hoping right there with you that the CAT scan comes back o.k. I do want to share with you this interview in which an oncologist notes regarding androgen deprivation therapy that "men often have aches and pains because altering testosterone also seems to uncover arthritis that may not have been such a problem before, but after we lower testosterone all of these aches and pains, especially in big joints, seem to come out:" <a href='https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/addressing-physical-cognitive-effects-adt-prostate-cancer-patients' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/addressing-physical-cognitive-effects-adt-prostate-cancer-patients</a>. I don't know if this applies in your case, but it may be worth discussing with your doctor. Best, Richard (ProstateCancer.net Team)

 Hi <inline-mention username="John D" user-id="4589043"/>. That is great to hear. Considering that your pains have been bilateral, you may want to speak with your doctor about the potential for rheumatoid arthritis. If a person is prone/susceptible to it, something like cancer and treatment could serve as a trigger. My wife, Kelly, was diagnosed with a severe juvenile from of RA at age two, so it is something I'm very familiar with. That said, only a doctor can do the proper diagnostics and the bilateral pains is only a symptom and could, of course, have other causes. For the moment, enjoy the win on the clean scan.
