I am a triathlete, runner, cyclist, teach/do Pilates and yoga and have always been active. I stayed active during TC trt. That ended 11/14 but I still feel like my muscles are always tired and tight. I am on tamoxifen too. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this? I felt like after my 4th TC my muscles became tired/sore and have not been the same since. I continue to build endurance (did 25k trail run in June) but I just always feel worn down and never recovered/rested even after rest days. Anyone else?

    that's interesting.  I only had rads that ended last November and am on tamoxifen since.  This summer I've noticed that it's hard to make myself move.  I used to use the rowing machine all the time and now pulling back the cable takes so much more energy.  It's hard to keep my arms from dropping down.

    Me too. I get the most relief after swimming (I do a mile). But when I get home and sit on the couch for an hour my underarm chest is tight again (2 years since surgery). My arms are weak from the AI I take.
