I was on arimidex, then Tamoxifen for 10 years after surgery, chemo and radiation with very few side effects. Six months after stopping Tamoxifen I had a sore hip which turned out to be metastases from my original cancer. I also have tumors in my liver. I believe my recurrence would have happened sooner without the tamoxifen.

@jbp I have had a sore hip for three months. I got an x-ray that showed "mild degenerative changes" which do not explain the pain, and the pain is not in a joint. I mainly suffer pain lying down on that side and it wakes me up.

I have done PT for two months with no effect whatsoever. Not exercises, mainly massage and heat.

How did your mets to hip get diagnosed? My cancer doctor just keeps referring me to PCP.

I am seeing my orthopedist and wonder what kind of imagine to request. And whether I need contrast or not (kidneys not great).
