Why does Tamoxifen give me such sore feet?
Hobble out of bed each morning like an old lady!

Hello Kay & Girls,,,
I was on Arimidex for 5 months but due to horrendous pains in feet and ankles to the point that walking was difficult. In May I switched to Aromasin and still experience pain in feet and ankles but to a much lesser degree. A few months back I came upon an American Cancer Site where a woman was having the same issue. Her suggestion was putting on Croc's when getting out of bed. I quickly purchased some and they make a huge difference. I no longer feel as if I am walking on the bones of my feet.
Sadly, however I now tend to wear them most of the time. No longer a Fashionista as less pain is always the winner. Arimidex was great for weight loss though but Aromasin does the opposite. Very difficult to move the weight. Terrible to think that there are thousands of us all suffering, as if the Cancer, Surgery and Chemo wasn't enough!
Nearly completed my first year and four more to go. Now I can understand why 30% of women cease taking them. I won't be one of them though as I/ family could not go through it all again. So me and my Crocs will continue together.
