The tendonitis was very painful, it developed about a year after starting letrozole, l tried resting it which didn't help, so l started with wrist exercises and also strengthening, push ups, etc and it eventually went away. Sore feet were also a problem after chemo, l find walking barefoot and using a small ball to roll under my feet has helped.
The sore joints are usually while trying to sleep. The painful sex is an ongoing problem, started almost immediately after starting Letrozole.
I haven't figured out the best way to deal with this yet.
I did not have radiation, so no advice there.
I just recently (Feb) had a breast lift on my non breast cancer breast and a nipple created on my implant reconstruction breast.
I did not realise how much l missed having a nipple until waking up after surgery and looking down. Also having both breasts at the same height is nice. My plastic surgeon did an amazing job.
Good Luck with your radiation and the Letrozole.
