Hi. I am post op bilateral mastectomy no chemo needed. I was on BC for 4 years for menopause symptoms and they had me stop the apri... Now I have horrible joint pain in my most of my joints and bad back abd shoulder ache.. How quickly does my risk for osteoporosis begin after hormones go back down? Could my joint pain be from stopping BC?

Hello,
It can be an early sign of arthritis and not related to BC. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
