Yes, both UTIs and the pain are listed as possible side effects.

I am very sorry that you are suffering, it's sad that treatments are often so horrible.

Learn more Faslodex details here.

The only suggestion I can really make is that you talk to your Oncologist again and make sure that he knows how bad you're suffering.

Is this the only treatment you've tried?
