Hello All. Godspeed to every Warrior! I am on Faslodex injection rest of life 1 x a month now. Extreme bone pain. Hips. Thigh bones. Knees Lower back (that already has a long list of issues to include cancer up and down spinal bones) neck and shoulders. Been on pain mgmt last 10 years for back but I am down in bed 5-7 days after injection. Sold 9-9.5 pain (sometimes a 10 and that 10 I save up even saying). Anyone have same issues and any advice? Thanks! Stay strong. Together we will beat cancer

That level of bone pain after treatment sounds incredibly challenging to manage, especially when it's keeping you bedridden for nearly a week each month. Many patients in this community have shared similar experiences with injection-related bone pain, and discussing pain management strategies with your oncology team might help identify additional options that could work alongside your current pain management plan. Your strength in continuing treatment while dealing with such intense discomfort is truly remarkable, and this community is here to support you through these difficult days.
