Thank you for your reply. She was seeing ortho for hip pain prior to her breast cancer diagnosis. She has had a couple of steroid injections for arthritis and possible labrum tear. She is getting an MRI next month. She started having more generalized bone pain in her pelvis and lower back and she says she had the same kind of pain when she was pregnant and thinks it may be from the tamoxifen. I will have her reach out to her doctor. She doesn't take anything without checking with her doctor first.

Hello
I am on my 3rd chemo round.
The lower back pain similar to back labor was a symptom I had.
I advised my doctor and they managed this symptom and this round I do not feel the back pain.
Large bones will have pain as your body is trying to produce more white blood cells and those large bones are sources.
Talk to your doctor to make sure it is not something more.
The doctors were great to work with to manage this symptom to just a small ache.
