Nerve pain, neuropathy, something else?

First, I am on Ibrance/Faslodex/Xgeva regimen.

Since my metastatic diagnosis I have had pain in my joints which I felt was either from the meds or a more sedentary lifestyle because of the sacral met. Getting out of the shower a couple of weeks ago I felt what seemed like a popping in my knee with sudden pain. Ever since then it has been more difficult to walk. It feels like a nerve, but I guess it could be a ligament or a tendon as well. I've been resting it and taking Motrin which seems to help a little. My question is, has anyone ever had any nerve pain/neuropathy in their knee from any of these drugs? Or has anyone ever had cancer in a knee joint? It's my understanding that metastatic cancer in the knee is rare.

Thanks.

    I tore the ligaments in one knee going up the 3 steps in my school bus. Then I tore the ligaments in the other knee kicking my purse in the same bus. About 15 years ago, before cancer.

    We do tend to try to blame our aches and pains on the meds, but not always the case. Probably should see PCP, who may recommend an orthopedist.

    Spookiesmom...yes, I figured I would probably eventually have to go that route but I also have my scans coming up so maybe that will tell me something. But until then I was wondering if anyone had anything similar from the meds or actually had cancer metastasize to the knee joint.
