Thank you all! I actually went to a chiropractor today and we discussed a plan. Had my first manipulation and am booked for Monday. They have massage, phsiotherapy and acupuncture so we will decide what will benefit me. I have a GP appt for Tuesday and want to discuss the rib pain in more detail. By the time I speak to the onco on Friday (2 weeks from stopping the Tamoxifen) he will know that I am taking this seriously. I don’t want to stop the Tamoxifen altogether but I need a plan to manage it. So we will see. One day at a time. Yes and I need to start walking again😁😁

Yes, I agree that walking is good, and generally will help with the hip pain. I’ve been walking 2 miles/day, 5 to 6 days/week, for over 20 years. However, on some days it takes a lot of toughing it out, because sometimes it takes more than 1/2 mile for the hip pain to get even slightly less. So I’m still walking, but at times panting just to deal with the stabbing pain. But - on the bright side - about 1 or 2 days per week I’m pretty much ok. OTC pain relievers have never done much for me, and with a time line of 5 years of AI I don’t consider them a viable long term solution.
