Hi Ginny: I saw your post about Lupron. I took Lupron for 6 months . It was supposed to be treating endo which was supposed to be causing the leg pain I had and was treated for four years by a neurologist with imipramine! Now I am wondering what exactly was causing the leg pain (now that I know about my discs) and if it wasn't endo, why did the Lupron work so well. Three months into the treatment I was pain free and remained that way for 1 1/2 years until this current problem flared. I felt fine on Lupron, although I had severe hot flashes (at least I think they were severe) No other symptoms. They give "add back estrogen" now with Lupron to combat these symptoms. When this current problem flared my gyn suggested a 3 month trial again, this time with the add back estrogen, and I had no hot flashes. It also had no effect on my pain. I sure hope the Lupron did not cause or aggravate my present problem.
