I have had ongoing pain in my ribs now in two separate places. I am trying not to worry too much. However I am experiencing some of the same symptoms as when I was first diagnosed with my BC. Extreme Tiredness, Loss of Appetite, easily deep bruising... I am on Arimidex and know that it can cause bone / joint pain. However this pain is very localized and sharp. It is also present when not moving and often when I breathe. I saw my Oncology Radiologist yesterday and she did not seem concerned and actually disregarded it a bit

Scared

I am scheduled for follow-up mammo/ ultrasound in a week. although I am afraid anything present will not be noticed.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Thank you sisters,

Keryfree

    HI Keryfree


    I have had some bone pain. and an easy check is a bone scan. They're inexpensive and your Onco can order it. If you are concerned and the pain is persistent, I'd ask him/her to order one for you. Good luck. I hope you are well.
