I had 6x chemo treatments and 6 weeks of radiation. 12 years later I still suffer from chronic joint pain which becomes all over pain by the end of the day. I drag myself to work, and collapse on my bed after work. At times I wonder if it was worth the treatment, as I am so sore I am not able to do much. I take pain medication to get through the day. Have any other sufferers any advice re: new meds to treat the pain.
Could it be your tamoxifen causing the joint pain? I took Arimidex for 6 months until joint pain started moving thoughout. Switched to Aromasin and the joint pain stopped. 18 month later now my hips are starting to hurt pretty regularily, will discuss with oncologist next visit. Basically blocking all the Estrogen is not a great thing for the joints.

Some kind of very low dose of estrogen or use of estrogen creme should be allowed to stop this pain. I know the doctors say NO ESTROGEN as the cancer will return. Well it may return on its own and I do not like to take this pain medication. What research says that we women must go totally against what God put into us? We are all still guinie pigs in this treatment or so it seems to me and I really get tired of having to think constantly about this cancer.

I saw my gynecologist and she explained to me that the pain was due to the rise and fall of estrogen. My levels were low, but I was still producing estrogen during my cycle. I have had a hysterectomy, but I still have my ovaries. She suggested I take something like Estroven to keep an even level of estrogen in my system. I did not want to go on a low dose estrogen patch as she offered.

s hair but not others. Joint pain is also fairly common after menopause when the ovaries produce less estrogen (although they produce a bit of testosterone for decades after menopause - at least to age 80).
Have you had a complete endocrine workup to see if the POF could be from an endocrine abnormality such as thyroid, pituitary or adrenal? Of course, some medical treatments such as radiation and chemo can cause POF too.
I have been to the doctor and am doing well. No cancer. One year later I have started with joint pain in my feet, knees , fingers, hips and arm and shoulder joints. When I sit I can hardly get up and going until it passes. In the morning it hurts in my feet and ankles to start walking but passes. Is this residuals from the chemo?
