Anyone switch from Arimidex to tamoxifen?
I just about cant stand another minute on Arimidex!
The knee pain is horrible. I feel like I'm 100 years old. I have pain in my lower back too, but the knees are the worst.
Moving helps and hurts...I have pain just laying in bed.
After a year of trying to adjust, my onc switched me to tamoxifen. I haven't started taking it yet. I'm taking a week or two off to see how I feel without it.
Anyone have experience switching with positive (or negative) results?
Thanks
