francine6829 - don't know how old you are but note that doctors will generally NOT let you take Tamoxifen if you are post menopausal....it's only for pre menopause treatment. Tamoxifen doesn't have the joint pain or damage but it can mess with your blood pressure and heart.........

I am 65 in very good health and fit. My heart, blood pressure is excellent. If the choice no AI vs taking tamoxifen, we will see what he says

@francine6829 They also use tamoxifen for post-menopausal as it does stop estrogen production, but the pills of choice by most oncologists are aromatase inhibitors.
