I am a 46 year old male. With an aromatizing or estrogen releasing pituatary microadenoma.?
I am a 46 year old male. Six years ago I had symptoms of prostatitis and learned that I had a pituitary micro adenoma and very high levels of estrogen with normal testosterone. I initially took tamaxafin but it did not lower my estrogen and I switched to arimidex. Two years later the micro adenoma was no longer visable. My liver showed fatty deposits which I believe are from filtering the estrogen. I took arimidex for about four years and lost half of my bone density and developed debilitating pain in my feet, ankles and hips. I switched back to tamaxifin and was able to tolerate it until recently. I developed the same pain in my lower extremities and stopped taking it. I then developed symptoms of prostatitis, essential tremors and loss of libido. I have visited many endocrinologists that are well respected and I believe are competent. Unfortunately none of them seem to have any idea how to help me.
