Tamoxifen and peripheral neuropathy?

Kariena

Hi Ladies,

I have been on Tamoxifen for 4 years now and my feet are uncomfortable most of the time (tingling sensation) - it seems to be peripheral neuropathy. Its not named on the long list of delightful side effects, but I have read in a few forums that other women experience this as well. It could, of course, be totally unrelated to the Tamoxifen, but my guess is that it is not. Does anybody have experience of this? Does it get worse? Is it reversible?
