Smile pain - arthritis or femera side effect?

Hi Wondering if anyone else experiences pain on getting up in the morning. When I wake up I can barely close my hands, extremely stiff and sore. Then getting up and walking is a little slow to say the least. I have also noticed aches and pains all over. I will ask my oncologist when I see him in November is this is common. Heck maybe I am just getting old which is a good thing let the old come. I have had pain in right shoulder for quite a while. They did an x-ray it was fine. Six months later it was still sore so an ultrasound was done which shows a big calcium buildup. They were going to order a bone scan but now that the US showed calcium that has been cancelled. By the way August 18th will be two years since my diagnosed. sheila I was very happy to read your wonderful news... love, peace and strength to all
