Prostate cancer in the bones can be painful.
In this video, Doctor Alicia Morgans has a special message to men about pain.
[sting]
This video is the fifth of five short videos on bones and advanced prostate cancer.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm just a man with locally advanced, recurrent, prostate cancer.
I ask the questions.
A expert medical oncologist answers the questions.
And when you occasionally hear this sound,
[swish],
our resident artist attempts to illustrate.
Meet the doctor.
My name is Alicia Morgans, and I'm the Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Vanderbilt University
in Nashville, Tennessee, in the United States.
And you have a special message to men about pain?
If a man's having problems with pain and prostate cancer
that might be growing in the bones,
his doctor might try to treat him with pain medicine
that can reduce that pain and make him feel better.
It's often hard for a man to admit that they have pain,
and after admitting it, to take pain medicine to
make them feel better because of many reasons.
Whether they're afraid that they look less manly or whether they're afraid that the pain
medicines might be addictive.
There are many reasons.
But at the end of the day pain is something that we can treat, and men can feel better,
and life is always better when you can be as active
as you want to be when pain does not limit you and make you feel bad.
So I always encourage men to try to treat their
pain, to let their doctors treat their pain,
because you can feel better, and there's really
no good reason not to feel better.
>> JIM: Thank you.
Thank you.
