6. Swelling in the Lower Extremities

Prostate cancer can spread to other areas of the body through the lymph nodes and bloodstream, sometimes causing a block in the lymphatic system. At this point, the man may experience swelling and weakness in the legs, feet, penis, and scrotum. Redness or swelling may also develop, along with tight, sore skin. Some men describe a tingling feeling that is sometimes painful. Others describe a heaviness. Swelling may cause discomfort, numbness, and weakness when performing daily activities.
