Aprox 9 months after Radiation testosterone level is great but I m experiencing nervous trembling in my chests,arms and now legs. Along with the trembling,I m having nite sweats and a few hot flashes during the day. Am I going thru male menopause?

Hi,

A side-effect of Lupron can be reduced sexual interest or pain in the testicle, chest pain, weakness & fatigue.

Lupron also interacts with many drugs so keep your treating doctor informed about all the medications & other supplements you take so that the doses can be monitored accordingly or other medications can be given to help you get comfortable.

Radiation therapy often results in Neurotoxicity. Neurotoxicity may affect the central or the peripheral nervous system which causes symptoms like trembling, fatigue & weakness of the limbs.

Visit a neurologist & get all the nerve fi+unction tests done along with a cardiac check-up to rule out any developing pathology.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
