Does Prolonged Use Of Tamoxifen Cause Joint And Muscle Pains?
I have been on Tamoxifen for the past three years. I was off it for about a month due to an allergic reason. I notice a complete absence of joint pain. I am now on it again - made by Watson. The joint and muscle pains have returned. Am I imaging that Tamoxifen is the source?

Hi,
Joint pain and arthralgia are among the most commonly encountered side effects seen in patients receiving tamoxifen. Visit your consultant for guidance. Acupuncture may help to reduce pain from joint symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
