I have recently completed 45 radiation treatments for prostate cancer in conjunction with receiving hormone treatments (Eligard). Following the last injection (6-month dosage), my entire body aches (knees, hips shoulders, hands) as well as surrounding muscles. As I was previously diagnosed with RA in hands, the rheumatologist has prescribed Sulfasalazine (4x500mg daily) and Hydrochloroquine (1x200mg daily) - very little improvement. Any comments?
 
Probably not going to get much in the way of comments on this here. We are not doctors, and won't know about this unless someone here has experienced exactly the same thing.
. I would recommend that you do your own research on this online and see if you can find out any correlation with the treatments and/or the drugs you are taking. It could be caused by either of those things. Often drug reactions mimic symptoms of other disorders.
If you have not asked your doctor about this, it would be good to do so.
