Hi, I have posted on here before and those that have see I am really worried I have P.C. but k owe my psa is only 1.
my concerns revolve around having prostate issues 4 years ago and diagnosed with enlarged Prostate.
Whilst I know that a psa that low should provide however has a cousin who wasn't diagnosed until it was in his spine.
Since I was diagnosed with enlarged prostate I have had two very bad episodes of central back pain, first I've in Oct 2018 then again sept 2019, so bad I was given 2 spinal CT scans 1 for each episode.
Neither of which showed anything amiss.
i have recently had a really bad episode of hip and leg pain beyond any sort of pain I can remember, whilst that has seemingly improved after some physio the hip pain remains but my leg appears to have lost some strength and marginally muscle mass.
Along side this I've tte last few weeks I have noticed pain in my lower back and today again between my shoulders.
to add to my PC worries my GP ran full blood tests and one in particular serum ferritin was identified as high 607 normal is lower than 400.
I paired serum ferritin high with P.C. on the I internet and have found a study that showed this is seen in PC and the higher the number the more agreesuve it may be.
my question is, if my fears are real would it really take 1.5 years almost since my first episode fir it to progress?
in tte meantime I am awaiting an mri but due to having a Pacemaker is taking a little sorting.
Any input welcome
