Default Same here
I first noticed it not long after I was diagnosed twelve years ago. It was confined to my right lower leg and seemed to stabilize until a couple of years ago. Now it has evened out over both legs and has made inroads into both shoulders.

I guess that I can stop worrying about a giant prostatic tumor sucking the nutrients away. Thanks Ladies. I am currently wondering if it might be my thyroid. Any thoughts?
