Joint Pain While Taking Tamoxifen: Sharing Experiences

I have a little pain but nothing too bad. I run everyday and I think it really helps.

You are so Lucky, now everytime I walk in a short distance I will feel pain and stiff

I have pain in my knees and ankles, but I alternate between taking Move Free and Cosamin ASU supplements daily, and they seem to help. I also take calcium and vitamin D supplements daily.

Oh I see...I will try...thank you hope my pain will be increased

Nina is the Move Free and Cosamin ASU supplements OTC??

I already tried glucosamin, but why I feel dizzy headache after I consumed, is that the side effect of GlucoSamin?

Alexa why do you say you hope your pain will be increased ( in your post above)

Hi, Dennie, both supplements are OTC. Cosamin ASU is on the pricier side. I was able to find a good price on Amazon this month, $45 for 230 capsules

Hi, Alexa, Google says that headaches can be a side effect of Glucosamine, but it is usually well tolerated. Google also says you can change the dosage or take it with food to minimize the side effects.

Hi Carole, sorry I did wrong typo..should be decreased

I have constant pain daily. Good up and down is a task. I was just told that I have osteoporosis. My entire right side stays in pain with every movement. I bathe in Epsom salt and green alcohol daily to help. I was a exercise queen now trying to keep my balance trying not to fall.

Muscles and joints are always sore once i started tamoxifen. I found that getting up after resting/sitting is always the hardest. Always being on the move seems to help, though that’s not always feasible lol. Haven’t tried supplements

Honestly I can't do too much in a day. Even going to the store takes so much out of me. I'm on multi vitamins, vitamin d. Going in sun takes everything out of me. I'm required to wear a life alert that's super sensitive. I really feel you. I have a 3 year old grand baby I really miss but she Is too much for me. She gets on my roll-aider she asked granny why you can't play with me anymore . That hurts. Thank you so much for talking to me. I be by myself alone in tears. I miss the energetic me.

Hello Tabatha, me too I also miss my energetic me..running, walking, working...now even I Just try to stand up it really hurts me

Hi Alexa,I am trying so hard to get Hiking Carole back. She (me) disappeared after my partner lost his battle July 2004, and I dived under the covers and stayed there .A routine mammogram showed suspicious calcifications which turned out to be DCIS stage 0 That kicked me back into gear. Still struggling with grief,but the depression is out the door and I just need my energy back. Finished 20 radiations last Wednesday.

I thank you Allexa. With God all things are possible. .My everyday prayer is that God brought us to it I do know that he is going to help get us through it.

We are all in God's hands.

Nina C, thank you I will order!

Nina C, which Move Free do you take? Alternate daily, weekly, monthly?

Hi Allexa, I'm now seeing a doctor for bone loss. I went Monday and was in tears, was hurting very badly. She said because my treatment was so aggressive

Hi Alexa, I started taking Tamoxifen June 06, last week I began experiencing pain in both hips and thighs and wrist. I have to rotate so much at night because the pain is intense. My oncologist told me the main side effects were hot flashes. I have not experienced those yet. I’ve experienced bad headaches while taking it as well. I take it at noon every day, I feel nausea by dinner time and severe fatigue. I’m not sure if I should switch the time I take it.

Hi, Dennie, I take Move Free Advanced Plus MSM and Vitamin D3 with Glucosamine. I alternate every other day, so Mon/Wed/Fri Cosamin ASU and Tue/Thur/Sat Move Free.

Thanks Nina C !

I am taking low dose tamoxifen and developed pain in thigh so bad I can’t walk very far or put weight on it for any length of time. This started in May and has not subsided. However the rheumatologist convinced me I need drug for osteopenia and recommended prolia which i took about the same time. This drug can also cause issues so not sure which is causing it

Hello Tabatha, thank you very much..in this very hard stage of my life that we need is motivation and support from others and family so we will not feel lonely. God of course, He is my biggest supporter, motivator and my very Best friend in facing this struggle life
