Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a DRE some months ago that appeared normal. I am 51 in good shape and my urine stream is slower but not cut off. I do have pain in my ankle joint now and before it was always in my knee but has left. I also will get pain in my forearm, is this a possible sign of prostatitis?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in thighs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angina , brachial plexus injury , bursitis , carpal tunnel syndrome , fibromyalgia , sprains and strains. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination as arm pain do not indicate prostatitis. Doctor may order CT scan ,MRI or physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and physical therapy . Also consult urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment or prostatitis .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
