Do either of you think the intensity of these pains will diminish with time?
I am just getting the hot flashes to subside a bit with neurontin. The effexor that helped me with the 18 months of tamoxifan, did nothing for the aromasin.
I have my first bone density scan on Tuesday as well.
I have been taking 1600 to 2400 mg of ibuprofin daily for this pain.
I find exercise helps to a point, but when I stop, or even sit for a while, it is all I can do to get moving. I have never had to deal with pain like this before. This is so different from the "good" pain one might feel from exercise and stretching.

Thanks for your help! I can't wait to get to this checkup.
