5) Stiffness and pain in the lower back, hips, thighs
Prostate cancer can cause massive pain in thighs, hips and lower back. It is due to metastatic spread of prostate cancer to the bones of the regions as mentioned above. Prostate cancer that metastasizes to the bones affects new bone cells. A research was done on men who presented with the complaint of back, neck and pelvic pain. A strong connection was established between back pain and prostate cancer as men with back pain had 50 percent more chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer than normal men. Apart from this, weakness and numbness of the limbs are also reported by patients with prostate cancer in an advanced stage of the disease. Consulting your doctor is mandatory if you are suspecting lower back, pelvic or thigh pain due to an unknown cause.
