Has anyone else suffered from Tamoxifen related knee problems?
I started taking Tamoxifen approximately 8 weeks and have suddenly started having problems with my right knee for no apparent reason. I can bearly walk as I can't bend it because of the pain. I also started getting constant cramp in my right calf and swelling like water retention in my ankle with bruising around 2 weeks ago. I have seen my doctor who sent me for an xray and I am waiting on results. I have never had knee problems before and it seems a coincidence that the knee is playing up on the same side as the cramp etc.
I have also been suffering from very low mood and the usual night sweats, slight weight gain, lack of sleep and fatigue. from taking Tamoxifen. I could cope with these side affects but can't bear or afford to be imobile at 53 with children and horses!!
I was on Anastrozol for a while but the hot flushes, night sweats, joint pain and extreme fatigue were unbearable.
Any advice as to where I go next?
