Muscle & Joint pain from medication used to remove Oestrogen from my body

Hi.  I am just wondering if there is anyone out there like me?  I have travelled the Breast Cancer journey for over 12 months now having a Mastectomy for Invasive Ductal Carcinoma in March last year....

Hi:) I had the same diagnosis as you,but I am on Tamoxifen.Would this be an option? I am 60, and am only on it because of my advanced osteoporosis.I suffer with muscle cramps,and I take 4 magmin ( blackmores) magnesium tablets,daily.Two in the morning,and two in the afternoon.It makes a huge difference to my muscle cramps,but I'm not sure if it's the same for you. I am sure that others will come on here with the same treatment as you.Cheers Robyn
