Leg pain Tamoxifin?

Hi girls

Just wanted to update you on my leg pain and hot sweats.

Firstly leg pain was trochanteric bursitis which I have suffered before but every time it feels different.  It is because the bursa (in the top part of your leg on the outside) gets inflamed and sends horrific pains through your legs, knees and hips.  I have been seeing a wonderful physiotherapist in Perth (highly recommend him to anyone so if you want his details send me a private message and I can pass it on) while I was there and he has settled it down for me. Ice on the bursa for 15 mins 2 to 3 times a day also helped.  It is amazing how many people suffer from this, especially when you get back in to walking or exercise.  Mind you I have had to stop walking because I have been so unwell with lung infection/bronchial pneumonia (depending which doctor you speak to).  Anyway that is another story.

Secondly my hot sweats have eased considerably as chemo onco took me off Tamoxifin and put me on Femara as he felt it would be better for me.  I havea  very few normal hot flushes in a day now which is wonderful as I feel I can get on with my life. 

Mind you I have to get over this terrible fatigue first................does it ever end.  I am sure it will one day.  Fingers crossed.

Anyway that was my solution for my leg pain and sweats.  I hope anyone else suffering can get these things sorted so you can have a "good" life instead of one plagued by aches and pains etc.

Wishing you all well, well, well LOL Mich xoxo
