Aches n pains..

[1735]

Has anybody been experiencing pins and needles in your hands and really achey feet and legs also a pain I'm my lower back was wondering if it was due to the tamoxafin ....

Hi hon, you will find that it is probably the chemo. Have you just started it? Are you injecting yourself with lonquex 24 hours after chemo? That also causes bone pain, as that injection is to speed up the regeneration of white blood cells in order to keep your immune system working. The bone pain may last a few days. But the pins and needles, well I've had them since last October. Good luck with your treatment. xx

Good luck x

I cannot speak for tamoxifen but having had other treatments ( chemo and now fulvestrant) I find my aches and pains especially in my feet are gradually getting much worse. I also have increasing numbness in my feet. My Oncologist keeps telling me that it is my arthritis that is getting worse but I know it is treatment that is causing it. I am going to tackle him again the next time I see him. Don't suppose he can do anything except give me pain relief but he could admit that it is the medication. On the other hand, the medication is working so we have to accept these side effects. Sorry I am letting off steam a bit as nobody seems to accept thatvit is tge treatment that us csusing it. Hope that yours does not get too bad and good luck with your treatment x

Hi, Yeh it well could be, been on tamoxifen for nearly 3 years, at the end of the day, get itchy burning feet, hands, joints quite painful every night, even though I do light excersizes, and stretches, but they say it helps, are you taking any vitamins?

[1735 in reply to footprints]

Hi there , no I haven't took anything just wanted to see if others had the same pains.. What would you suggest? Co-codamol or something similar thanks

[PinkRibbonWarrior]

I also get aches and pains in my joints and bars k and tingly fingers. I'm taking Anastrazole and have an injection once a month aswell.

[Rattyp]

I have the same side effects. I have found they get worse after my herceptin jab. As it's been said, unfortunately it's the price we pay for our fight against cancer

Hi There, I was on Tamoxafin for a year, bad bone pain, my quads felt it the worst. my feet also felt pain, pins and needles too. Had too many problems with fibroids, had hysterectomy and now on Arimidex, now no leg pain but worse foot pain. It is from the drugs.
