Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / June 2006Flomax and back pain
I am 69 and have been living with back pain for many years due to a severe arthritis. Because of BPH I have been on Flomax for 2 years and my back pain is increasing. I wonder whether this increase is due to Flomax or to an aggravation of the arthrosis which, according to my doctor seems to be rather stabilized. Are there specific "characteristics" of Flomax action on back pain ? Thanks. JC > I am 69 and have been living with back pain for many years due to a severe > arthritis.

I think I experience some of all of them when I tried it. * More common side effects may include: Abnormal ejaculation, back pain, chest pain, cough, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, infection, nausea, runny nose, sinus problems, sleepiness, sore throat, weakness * Less common side effects may include: Decreased sex drive, dental problems, insomnia, vision problems * Rare side effects may include: Constipation, fainting, low blood pressure upon standing, painful persistent erection, palpitations, vertigo, vomiting Thank you for confirming that Flomax can cause back pain. Do other alpha blockers: Hytrin.....also cause this side effect ? JC >> I am 69 and have been living with back pain for many years due to a >> severe arthrosis.
