Side Effects of Tamoxifen: Any Bad Experiences?

No really a bad experience but I do have headaches that are different than migraines. They are more of an annoyance as they last a long time. They are centered around the back of my head. I also have some pressure in my uterus area. My research seems to find this correlates w thickening of the uterus lining. I am not sure if this is just during the time that would normally be on my menstrual cycle or not. I have been on tamo less than 6 months. None of this is unbearable. I think the benefits of the medicine outweigh the negatives so far. I also pray that these side effects will lessen with more time.

My sister took it. Gave her arthritic type pain. But it subsided after a few months. I'm about to start letrozole. Was wondering about experience of others with this medication

I had severe bone joint pain. Currently on a break from it due to having eye surgery and pain is back to my normal arthritis level. It's more common in women who already have arthritis.

I had what they call tumor flare. Stabbing pain in my liver and hip ( bone mets on head of femur). They started after taking it about 2 or 3 weeks and it lasted about a week. I read a tip on a message board that Claritin helps a lot with the pain of tumor flare and I tried it and they were absolutely correct. It was a lifesaver

It also made me have to pee every 2 hours like clockwork. Not a big deal, just annoying. Now i am on letrozole and kisqali and monthly ovarian suppression injections.
