Pain after breast cancer

Bone pain is a side effect I'm enduring.  For me it's in the legs!

I would suggest you see the Rheumatologist to confirm your diagnosis first.  Is it a side effect or do you have rheumatoid arthritis?

If you type in the search bar you will find discussion on Medical Cannabis

Take care

Hi @mumma4, AIs can certainly cause joint pain so seeing a rheumatologist will be helpful. I did have some pain on Letrozole but I was fortunately that it settled for me. I am not on Letrozole now due to progression. In terms of medicinal cannabis it sure helps many people. It's an individual choice but it does work for many people and there are many places it is accessible now, even online. There are a few members on here that have had success with it, including myself. It's can also be helpful for sleep too. Pain is exhausting and I hope you get your pain uncontrol. 

Thankyou

Hi @mumma4, I'm not sure if you managed to catch the most recent webcast that BCNA ran (last Wednesday), but it was about that issue exactly e.g. persistent pain after breast cancer.

If you missed it, I will locate a link to the recording and share it here but in the mean time, the following information on our website may have some useful references - https://www.bcna.org.au/resource-hub/articles/managing-pain-related-to-breast-cancer-treatment/ 

Thankyou I did watch it
it was very informative and Naveen was great, exactly what she said I have coz I thought I was the only one.  I have a spot right in the middle of my back which has been very sore for a few months and my oncologist (not my regular one) just dismissed it and referred me to a rheumatologist….
