It could mean that they have back pain and taking some tylenol or motrin regularly may make it go away. Prostate cancer is often a very slow growing cancer which gives very few symptoms. You might consider having a check-up with your family doctor about your back pain. In the meantime, take something.

Prostate cancer is generally so slow growing that the patient usually passes from some other old age disease before the PC ever spreads. However, there are a few patients who have aggressive PC that does them in in their fifty's or sixty's. But generally, PC is so slow growing that you will pass away from old age first. Your male that has the back pain and difficultly moving could very well be from OD'ing on the Tylenol, Advil, or Naproxen Sodium that he was probably taking way too much of before going to the Dr. Regardless, he needs to be carefully evaluated to either prove or disprove that supposition of mine. And if that isn't the problem, he needs a prostatectomy to get rid of the problem and give him a chance at a decent life afterwords. I wish you luck on this one. Karla.

It sounds like it could have spread to the bones. Often happens with advanced prostate cancer (it will usually spread to the bones first before any other place). It's what has happened to my dad. He had prostate cancer 7 years ago and a year ago he started getting really bad pain in his bones-mostly his back. Finally it was found that he had extensive bone metastasis (metastasis meaning that the cancer has spread). So a bone scan is probably needed if its not been done already to confirm this or rule it out. I hope this is not the case. It depends on how advanced the cancer is and how long the person has had it if it's likely to have spread to the bones or not. Good luck.

That means that cancer has developed to the neighboring structures (spinal cord), which explains the back pain. Pain-killers (morphin-like) will alleviate the pain or put some warm clothes to his back. That cancer person needs the comfort and love of all his family to face the situation. Psychological aspect is very important for the cancer patient.
