Tamoxifen and Joint pain

Hello All,

Has anyone had any joint pain they believe is from the Tamoxifen? I have had some severe ankle pain happen in both ankles at separate times with swelling and intense pain ( like a gout attack). I also had a random knee attack as well. These have lasted 3-4 days and I have taken alleve to help.

Thanks and good luck to all!

Try magnesium, with permission from your doctor. Take it at night and I bet it will help the pain. Soak in Epsom Salts as well, as your body will leach magnesium from the salts. I have even purchased Grandpa's soap from Amazon, that is made with Epsom salts.

I've been taking Tamoxifen for about 2 weeks, noticing less overall joint pain since radiation (ended 8/29) but more consistent upper body/neck discomfort. Maybe it's the non-stop "rolling in the hay" with night sweats (compounded by a menopausal spouse, husky-mix, and cat)?

I've been using CBD balm/oil daily (yes I live in Colorado but CBD is available in all 50 states now), and trying to remember to stretch/sauna and take magnesium before I head to bed. I'm not crazy about ibuprofen, etc. Still, the neck pain is always there in the morning.

Hopefully, once I start back on a weight-training routine I'll have more to report on the issue.

Any advice re: taking Tamoxifen in the morning or before bed? Seems like I have a period of dizziness in the morning (which is when I've been taking it), especially if I'm doing something active such as cycling or hiking, or even just working out in the yard.

Highly recommend CBD! I use Receptra Naturals; Charlotte's Web is also well-known in the medical community.

I take it with breakfast because that gives me the most consistency. I already have vertigo and dizziness from the general anesthesia and don't want to wake at night with vertigo attacks more than necessary.

I take in the pm... 10mgs between 6 and 8pm, another 10mgs when I go to sleep. It helps me to sleep.
