Possible Tamoxifen side effects

bubbex2

I started taking Tamoxifen approx. two months ago. My once very curly hair is totally straight. I had to cut it because of the breakage. In the past two days, I have developed some kind of pain in my quadriceps. I can't tell if it is bone pain or muscle pain. I also have weakness in the same area. Has anyone else experienced these side effects? I had my first follow up mammogram today so I have an appointment with my doctor next week. When I saw her last, I had the problem with my hair, but not my legs. I do weight training but don't seem to have the strength right now. Please let me know if anyone things these are "normal" side effects.

Thanks
