Sore bones and joints

I didn’t have chemo but take hormone therapy ( Letrozole) after radiotherapy both of which have impacts on joints  -some days particularly in winter it’s been quite hard in the morning or if I am stationarytoo long.

I take Krill Oil on recommendation of onc since starting hormone therapy but no real idea if working. What does make a huge difference however is exercise .

I walk daily for an hour and do a gentle exercise program involving light weights twice weekly .If I miss either I feel it badly. I also find if I start out achey within about 15 minutes or so I have moved thru it - something I learnt from district basketball sons.Basically the more I move the better I feel physically and mentally .

I gather it may be harder for chemo people however as it has bone impacts which can be longer lasting.I hope however it too can be exercised thru. 

My whole body ached for a long time, particularly my knees. I was on fish oil and panadol osteo to cope.  I lost some weight and moved more which I think helped but I also believe some of it was just time. I don't take anything regularly now. 

Hi @Spiv1803 I am also TNBC  and also have stiffness  when I get up but once I get moving i am not too bad . I hope it gets better it's 10 months now since I finished chemo  may ask the surgeon tomorrow when I see him but I don't think he will have an answer  as all he did was cut "boris" out 

No, not on any hormone meds as was triple negative. 

Hi @Spiv1803, chemo itself does it. I've suffered terrible since chemo finished last July. It hasn't helped since starting arimadex in  December.

Rotten! Are you on Tamoxifen or an AI?

I do know that TC, which I had, affects the fascia which can cause pain and stiffness but I don't know about the length of time. Hope it can improve for you. K xox
