Strange Symptoms

by Arnon Krongrad, MD

Jul 14, 2009

A chronic prostatitis patient recently informed me that he had right groin, chest, and armpit pain when his prostatitis flared up. After having his prostae removed, he reports that all of these pains are gone. Why would the prostate affect the armpit? Nobody knows, yet prostatitis pain is often manifested in many kinds of pains. Many of these are not captured by the CPSI.

Which kind of strange symptoms have you had that you think are due to prostatitis?
Which kind of strange symptoms have you heard of others having that are due to prostatitis?

    Dr.Krongrad,

    Can you recall what the foot pain the patient you operated on had, before he underwent LRP? i.e. was it burning pain? stabbing pain? Also did this patient get the leg pain only when flaring up, or was it constantly present?

     
    I have some very weird symptoms as well, including the ones in my feet (soles). Most of the time I have a strange stinging type of sensation in the soles of my feet. When I am flaring up, it actually turns into more a stabbing sensation and pain level shoots up. Its pronounced when I am either lying down or sitting. Not so prominent when I am active and walking about
    .
    At my worst (probably a few years back ) , I even had tingling/stinging sensations in my palms also.

    Shehan, I don't remember the patient mentioning burning sensation. I do remember a few patients mentioning foot pain that correlated with other pains from their prostatitis. It's not that uncommon, apparently.
