What's new with Kath
Warning...long post ahead with much whinging I've been struggling the past 6 months. I have developed bilateral bursitis of both shoulders...for no apparent reason. Initially it was tight with re...

When you wrote that Kath, my immediate thought was letrozole. Don't you just love it when they state no known reason...we all know what the cause is, it's just that not many of the medical fraternity are prepared to listen and take it on board. A little acknowledgement goes a long way. I know i had a stuffed right shoulder before bc but last week it was unbearable across my whole shoulder neck jawline area. Fortunately my body responds to what my osteo does...most times and luckily this time it did.
I'm so glad your bone scan was clear, it would freak me out if i had to have one of those. I go on a 2 month letrozole holiday in...19 days and counting. My osteo said to me regarding my right hand that the only way i would get any more mobility in it would be for someone to massage it twice a day... we both looked at each other and said well that's not going to happen! Except I've started to give it a light massage twice daily, once with voltaren gel and the other with moisturizer. It has worked up to a point but not beyond.
Good to hear that you are more mobile whilst not on letrozole. Anastrozole will be my next go to, just haven't decided yet.
Enjoy your break, i know i will! Cathxx
