Been on tamoxifen for a year now. Some side effects I’ve been tolerating but now pretty bad leg cramps last month. Any thing to make it better? Worse at night.

Managing side effects during treatment can be really challenging, especially when they disrupt sleep. Many people in the breast cancer community share similar experiences with muscle cramps, and there are several approaches that might help - from gentle stretching before bed to staying well-hydrated and discussing magnesium or other options with your healthcare team. Have others here found specific strategies that worked for nighttime cramping?
