I am on my second 3 month Lupron shot and am currently having terrible
leg, feet, and lower back pain...It hurts so bad to get out of bed in
the morning or to get up after sitting at my desk for any time...
I thought it was just me, what can I do about this? I have been taking
OTC PM meds to get to sleep, but can't find anything other to help
during the day.
HELP!
