thanks so much Rowdy and Melinda. Yep, I figured the joint pain was going to be the killer. I also heard that Tamoxifen caused mood swings, so I guess that's one plus with Arimidex. I'll keep Panadol Osteo in mind.

It doesn't seem fair does it - to go through so much beating the cancer then having ongoing pain to stay healthy.
Sending you both a hug and hope you have a good week.
