@vivi1 thank you for your reply. I'm having all kinds of different reactions to Tamoxifen and i can hardly wait to be able to stop it in January! I started out with Arimidex and simply could not tolerate that. Then some of the other drugs which were no better. Tamoxifen has had fewer side effects so I'll continue taking it until January. I hope all goes well with you!

My experience seems similar. I took aromatase inhibitor for a few months until the joint pain became so extreme I had difficulty walking. Dr switched me to tamoxifen; joint paint less but, esp at night, the pain radiated from my leg and hip joints, so I ended up taking Tylenol every night. I am now on a 2 week hiatus from all meds and the bone/joint pain is gone.
