Pain
Hi Emelie
I finished a year of Herceptin in January of this year. The way you describe your pain is exactly what I am experiencing, only it is supposed to be from the Arimidex I am taking. Are you taking Tamoxafin or any of the A.I.'s? I took notice when you mentioned your Achilles tendon. I am going to get new orthotics for my shoes because my family doc. thinks my Achilles tendon is so tight it is going to tear. My feet, ankles, knees, hips,
fingers and wrists all hurt (alot). I have a lot of pain when I go up and down stairs, and when I get up after sitting of lying down. I don't have any advice regarding the pain - I only take glucosamine and I don't know if it is helping. I do know that the more I move, the better I am.
Good luck.
