Leg pain Tamoxifin?

Hi pink sisters

I am just wondering if any of you lovely ladies have suffered from bad aching legs at night time after starting on Tamoxifin?

I am really struggling each night with the pain.  Also the hot sweats are incredible any time day or night and it is sooooooo embarrassing, anyone else find the same thing?

Can you please help.

  • hi mich I havent started the tamoxifin but already had those symtoms pre the bc I was peri menopausal  Im 51 (blood test) as Id been to the drs to confirm I wasnt loosing my mind. I found the good old hot water bottle or the heat pack was great ease for my legs and my husband would rub them, I remember  a few hot flashes so bad I had to pull the car over to strip off and would sleep with only a sheet on had some doosies in the hospital, And very teary  Im wondering if mine will increase when I start my tamoxifen god I will be a pain wont I.  At least we know its normal if we all get them dont we? ha ha                             best wishes adean

  • Hi Mich,

    Can't say I have had leg pain but the night sweats do wake me up. On average I have about 2-3 per week. I think I may have gone through menopause already!!!??

    Take care. It does get easy and the symptoms do die down. But having said that everyone is different.

    Thinking of you in rural WA and keep in touch,

    Love Alison xxx
