ONGOING JOINT PAIN POST CHEMO

I was diagnosed in September 2014 and finished my treatments in June 2015. I developed pains in both my knees toward the end of treatment and back a little later. Knees turned out to be osteoarthritis and back is degeneration. Neither of which i had prior to the breast cancer. My oncologist puts it down to menopause .... which also came with treatment. I take panadol osteo, nurofen and fish oil. I tried to take glucosamine chondroitin but it upset my stomach so i had to stop. When i cant walk (most of the time) swimming helps with the knee pain and the back pain has largely settled to more of a discomfort as long as i dont do anything to agrivate it. For a time i did have elbow pains too but they eventually went away on their own...sounds similar to yours just when i pressed down on them. never did find out what they were. I think its really hard not to think its the cancer coming back... So it is best to get any new pain checked if you have it for more than a couple of weeks as much for peace of mind as anything else. I haven't had any bone density scanning done but I'm also not on any hormone blocking meds either. Some seem to have them if they are taking meds that affect bone density. Take care xox
