    Bless your heart you are really suffering some brutal SEs with your meds. Have you talked to your doctor? Tamoxifen does cause joint pain. I am currently taking it and have experienced some joint pain but what you are experiencing is really severe. There are lots of drugs out there so your dr should be able to prescribe something else. There is no reason to suffer like you are doing. Ibwoukd call my dr asap.

    Good luck.
