Greetings, had RPP 7/2/15. Lower back pain has became more persistent and more frequent. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Uro says that since I didn't have metastatic disease, that it's very unlikely that anything has spread and suggested to wait until next psa follow up in January.

I have had some back pain to just start recently. Going to talk with my URO when I go back in February for 18 month check up. Everything else has been great. Hopefully it is nothing, but will check then.

I get lower back pain all the time. Likely from lifting heavy tools and sheets of plywood and other things a middle-aged man shouldn't be doing.

Go talk to your primary doctor and get it evaluated. The stress of surgery and a hundred other things could cause it.

Took me a full year to physically fully recover from my open surgery back in 2008. Due to surgical difficulties, I was left with lots of back and pelvic pain. Uro/Surgeon told me it was expected.

Hope you see some improvement soon, I know how much that can suck and wear a person down. Keep listening to your body's signals, and don't push yourself too hard until you fully recover.

See an orthopedic MD . Physical therapy and/or a cortesone shot may be all you need.

Are you taking daily 5 mg Cialis doses? Back ache is a possible side effect.
