I WENT TO MY DOCTOR APPROX 5-6 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE MY LEFT SIDE NECK AND ARM WAS STIFF. MY DOCTOR SAID I HAD A PINCHED NERVE
AND SENT ME TO THERAPY. ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS AGO I WENT TO MY DOCTOR BECAUSE OF SOME BACK PAIN ON THE LEFT SIDE AND HE SENT ME TO
HAVE A CT SCAN WITHOUT CONTRAST AND STATED I HAD A KIDNEY STONE. TWO WEEKS LATER I WENT FOR MY ANNUAL PHYSICAL AND MY PSA
LEVEL WAS 6.18 THE DAY OF THE DRE AND 5.77 TWO DAYS LATER. I NEVER HAD A PSA DONE BEFORE THESE. THE DRE WAS NORMAL. I WAS
SENT TO A UROLOGIST AND THE BIOPSY CAME BACK POSITIVE. 4 OF THE CORES WAS POSITVE ALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE. 5% 10% 15% AND 90%
OF EACH CORE. MY GLEASON SCORE WAS 6. I WENT BACK TO MY REGULAR DOCTOR TO ASK ABOUT MY ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE BEING ELEVATED AT
130.0 AND THE RESULTS OF MY CT SCAN. HE STATED THE ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE HAS BEEN ELEVATED FOR SOME TIME AND THAT THE CT SCAN
DIDN'T SHOW ANY PELVIS LYMPH NODE PROBLEMS WHEN DOING THE CT SCAN. HE ALSO DID AN EXAM AND I NOTICE WHEN HE PUSHES ON
THE LOWER LEFT SIDE ABDOMIN THERE IS SOME PAIN, BUT NOT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I DIDN'T KNOW ANY SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATE
CANCER UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE NOTICE URINATING MUCH MORE OFTEN. THE BIGGEST THING THAT SCARES ME NOW IS THAT I'M HAVING
SOME LOWER BACK, PELVIS, THIGH AND HIP PAIN IS ABOUT A 1 OR 2 ON SCALE OF 10. HOWEVER I HAD THE LOWER BACK PAIN FOR ABOUT 3
MONTHS BEFORE THE OTHERS. I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM HELPING MOVING SOME HEAVY FURNITURE. SOMETIMES AT NIGHT MY LEFT SIDE ELBOW
DOWN TO MY PINKY FINGER GOES NUMB. THERES ALSO GENERAL FLARE UPS THROUGH OUT MY BODY. I HAVE SEEN 2 UROLOGIST AND BOTH SAID
IT'S VERY UNLIKLY THAT THE PROSTATE CANCER HAS SPREAD TO MY BONES BECAUSE OF THE PSA AND GLEASON SCORE. DOES THESE
SYMPTOMS MEAN THE CANCER HAS SPREAD, OR COULD THESE BE SYMPTOMS FOR OTHER PROBLEMS. THANKS
