Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain in the leg could be related to a muscle stiffness or a spasm and is not likely to be related to intake of tamoxifen. You need to take mild pain killers and muscle relaxants for relief. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
