What Causes Sleep Disorder And Depression After Treated For Breast Cancer?
I am 67 years, young, I have had breast cancer in 1999, so far so good. No Chemo, and I have been a hairdresser since my late 20 s. I have had sleep & depression issues for years.My legs wake me up during the night as well as back pain. I try not to take pain medication, because it messes up my system, but by 2:00 OR 3:00 am, I will take what ever. My knee started hurting, shooting pain to touch. I can see some movement of fluid ( ? ) from left to right , on my right knee. I am using ice & elevation.

sleep disorder is due to pain overnight in the knee...usually breast cancer leads to decreased calcium levels in the body and hence leads to multiple joint pains...u need to get first calcium levels and den PET scan done in order to look for metastasis...
right now for the symptomatic treatment ,i suggest you to take
1.TAB SHELCAL 500mg Once daily(calcium)
2 Sachet CALCITRIOL once /week for 4mnths(vit.D)
and get pet scan done
