Been on tamoxifen for 14 months now, and have noticed worsening pain and stiffness, mainly fingers, toes and wrists, but can be most joints except elbows and shoulders. Some days getting up is the hardest time of the day because of the pain and stiffness. There are some things I find almost too hard to do because of the wrist pain, such as playing my piano. I have nearly given it up. The flushes too - urgh! Dozens of times a day I have to start frantically fanning myself, then 5 minutes later I am cold. It can be pretty miserable at times, but helps a bit to know I'm not alone.
