What Causes Pain And Weakness In Limbs After Prostate Cancer Surgery?

HI my name is Margaret Dozier, I am contacting you in regards to my brother he has prostate cancer surgery approx. 1 year ago?. since the surgary he has had problems with pain and weekness that continues to get worse, has been to several Dr.s one thought it was circulation problems and put in a pacemaker ,no positive results then told by a D. he had some very bad back problems and needed surgery, who 3 mth. later it was not necessary has has steriod injections in back, did not improve symptoms a Dr. prdered a n M.R.I and it couldn br completed because they were not made aware of the pacemaker several other test have been done resulting in no answers he continues to grow weaker in his limbs, pain, weakness and muscle deterioration. WE have decided to look into different Drs but don even know where or what kind to start with can you help us in finding a Dr. who will be sincerely interested in finding out what is wrong he has gone from school custodian, to hardly able to walk through his house I love him so much can t bear to see him like this I can tell it s not only taking a physical toll but is also causing a great deal of stress and mental toll as well. We feel the Dr.s he has seen are very impersonable and unattentive and seem to have no answers.
