- arpieMemberHaving said that yesterday - I had an amazing pain in my lower back for most of the afternoon! It is fine now!! Thank God!
Yep - 'totter' is a good word for it, @Sister - I totter all the time now!!
I groan all the time now, @kmakmSign in to react to this post - kmakmMemberMy personal challenge is to not make 'those noises' as I get up after sitting for anything longer than five minutes. Looking like an aged crone at 52 is bad enough but I'll be darned if I sound like one as well.Sign in to react to this post
- SisterMemberI drive about 40km to school/work and back every day. It sometimes takes me quite awhile to be able to get out of the car and then be able to totter off (and I mean totter). Stiff ankles and heels (never knew that could be a thing) and pain in the coccyx from sitting. I struggle with the tailbone when sitting down for too long at any time. I'm on a different AI (Letrozole) and it has impacted joints, and I suspect, soft tissue around them. It has also brought on arthritis in my fingers and neck in an amazingly short time.Sign in to react to this post
- arpieMemberI've just had 6 months of Exemestane & had 'general aches & pains' - I found walking up stairs difficult and the aches in my hand joints (particularly the thumbs) continues to be painful & difficult - and I wobble a bit when I get up (but I also had some arthritis prior to getting BC.) Getting up in the evening from the lounge chair can be tricky - very slow & using the arms to help me get upI didn't notice specific hip or lower back pain tho. I hope you are able to take something to lessen the pain & discomfort. I take a couple of Arthrexin (Indocid) at night, with my meal. It just takes the 'edge' off the pain
I am currently on a 4 week break from Exemestane (1 week in) - to see if the hand aches in particular lessen, to indicate it IS the meds causing the pain, vs the original arthritis!
All the best xxSign in to react to this post - kezmuscMemberDifferent beast but I have had left lower back and hip pain since starting Tamoxifen. There is a whole heap of us that sieze up after staying still for too long. Grrr
