Sore bones and joints
Hi all. So everytime I get up from laying or standing, I am hurting everywhere. It's ok once I get going though. Why so stiff? I'm nearly 6 months post chemo. Does it get better?

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.
