Re: Lupron

It is good to talk to someone who understands what I am going through
and how I am feeling. I called my doctor today, because my lower legs
have been aching the past couple of days. My doctor said that it is due
to the Lupron. My back is aching really bad tonight and the endo is
really irritating me and bothering me tonight. Is this normal when on
Lupron? Have you had any leg pain at all?
Pain free wishes to you always,
Jamie
