Just did my 5th Faslodex injection. Excruciating bone pain in hips and lower,mid and neck bones and joints. Already on pain mgmt for back issues that surgery keeps getting pushed back because of cancer. Anyone have any luck with bone pain? Pain is bad. Bone pain is the worse! I do have cancer spots in my left hip and lower to mid back. Godspeed to all and Warrior on!

I have had great luck with this until I recently got a nurse who did not know how to inject it. They have to let it sit out for at least a half hour so it warms and thins out some and then inject it very slowly; one to two minutes per injection. It is an oily and thick med. Google injecting Faslodex.
