[|Human|] My husband has prostate cancer surgery 3 1/2 years ago.  The prostate was removed; however, there were minute cancer cells in one of his lymph nodes.  He is now being treated with lupron.  He is beginning to experience stiffness in his neck & shoulders & I was wondering if this could somehow be related to the cancer.

So they can cause pain. So the possibility of bone metastases is high in your husbands case. It can be the reason for his neck and shoulder stiffness. So better to get done bone scan. If the bone scan is normal, then no need to worry about bone metastases. He can take painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  But the first rule out bone metastases through the bone scan.
