I have been on tamoxifen for a year and 4 months. My first side effects were hot flashes and I still have them. But the pain in my bones is unbearable at times. It seems like it is a daily ritual. I get up I get ready for work once I get to work the pain starts if I do not take a pain pill I can't make it through the day. The pain started in just the legs, now it has moved to my hands and arms. I get so depressed because I can't stand for long periods of time, I can't walk for long periods of time, I can't clean nothing... I am only 41 years old and I have to rely on other people to take care of things that I used to be able to do on my own. Im very independent and this has put a big damper in my life. And I don't want to have to take pain medication the rest of the time I am on treatment which is another 4 years. Anyone else experiencing this? Please reply with your situation and what has helped you get through it please...
