@sequoia Hi Again. I was on Tumeric but since I take Verzenio, 100 mg 2 x a day, I had to stop Tumeric. Contraindication btwn the 2. I'm not happy about that but I want Verzenio to work to the best of its ability to kill any cancer that might be roaming around in my body. OMG, my symptoms are quite like your's. My rib cage is ALWAYS tender to the touch. As though I am bruised from "something". Some areas quite painful. So glad you explained your pain symptoms. TY.

@anniez1943 is Verzenio an AI? I ask, as a friend of mine is taking Anastrozole and found an herb supplement that worked wonders for her pain and stiffness. When she showed the bottle to her doctors, I think two oncologists- they said No, as it contains Turmeric and doesn’t allow the AI to work effectively. I was unaware of this until I research her product and then researched the contradictions of the two.
Just curious, does your rib area get inflamed/sore after you have used your arm? I have to be so careful either the forward reaching (window washing) movement. ((I don’t do windows. 😆)) I also did a food diary for a few weeks. Turns out every time I ate cheese I would have a rib/ shoulder episode. I now am dairy free & has made such a huge difference. You may research inflammatory foods. It’s worth a try. Please stay in touch. We can learn from each other. Blessings.
