Is Forearm Pain A Sign Of Prostatitis?

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?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

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.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
