    Default 3 weeks on propecia , something went wrong...

    Hello

    after taking propecia 1mg for 3 weeks i start feel a pain in my lower back

    and since propecia low psa level

    there is an article that claims lower back pain and Adrenal Glands are a common connection.

    http://www.drgangemi.com/healthnews/backpain_adrenals

    Since the adrenal glands are the first to react to stress, they are often the first of the endocrine glands to wear down. Prolonged stress will often result in insulin problems as the pancreas and adrenals share the workload to balance blood sugar levels. This will result in blood sugar handling problems and over time, even Type II Diabetes. A thyroid disorder will often be the secondary problem of adrenal gland stress, even though in society it is often thought of as the primary problem after discovered following some routine blood work, and there are numerous pharmaceuticals to address the thyroid readily available. Low testosterone levels in men and low progesterone levels in women often accompany further adrenal gland stress, leading to a low sex-drive, weight gain, and PMS in women

    so should i continue taking propeica or shall i stop?

    thanks

    Do you know that the PSA levels need to be multiplied by 2, right?


    PROPECIA can affect a blood test called PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) for the screening of prostate cancer. To interpret serum PSA levels in men treated with finasteride for 6 months or longer, the serum PSA level should be multiplied by 2 and compared to either age-independent or age-specific upper limits of normal for serum PSA in untreated men...
