    Usually women deficient in oestrogen get joint pain.  That may be why your doc has increased the usage.

    I don't know about prostate 3 injections, it seems to be an anti-androgen for prostate cancer.

      I did mean to type prostap 3 injections.  Computer changed it to prostate.  Obviously there are a lot of factors not revealed.  Try acupuncture, and/or push your issues with your doctor.
