Yes Ginagce, I have had joint and bone pain with Tamoxifen. I've been on it for about 2 months, and I started to experience these aches about 1 week after I started it. My hips and left knee have given me trouble, as well I have muscular rushes of pain intermittently.
I take Naproxen ( here in Canada that is like Aleve but a prescription that is stronger). I have also started taking glucosamine chondroitin as suggested by some of the gals here on the site. I think the pain is subsiding a little, and hopefully will fade as time goes on and my body adjusts to the Tamoxifen. Could be the herceptin too, which we all know can cause this type of pain and stiffness.
all the best
caya
