The Dr. doesn’t think it’s neuropathy as the pain is throughout my whole body, not just my feet. She ordered an xray to see if I had arthritis in my feet, but everything looked fine. I’m waiting to hear back on some blood tests, but she really thinks it is the hormone blocking pill that’s causing the pain again. She did prescribe a strong anti-inflammatory med. to see if that helps with the pain so I don’t have to take Tramadol (which is narcotic, makes me tired and can be addictive). I took it an hour ago and so far, no relief. So we wait…and try to ignore the pain for a few days. 🙁 At least the weather is supposed to be nice while we wait. 🙂
Oh Jen I am so sorry I will pray for relief for you. Be strong, I love you
Hope you can have a Happy Father’s Day for your husband. Smile!!!!I know what pain is like. Carol
Jennifer have they tried switching your meds? I was on three different ones- first Arimidex, then Aromasin, and finally Tamoxifen. All three gave me extreme all over joint and bone pain. I prayed about it and finally felt God telling me to just come off the meds. I’ve been off of them for three years now. Perhaps that would be something you could talk with your Doc about. Praying you find relief. Bonnie
I have tried Arimidex, Aromasin and Femara. The next option would be Tamoxifen. We also talked about rotating between the 3 as the side effects don’t start right away. (That was my idea and he had never thought of that.) I’m stopping the pill today and we’ll see what happens. 🙂
Praying for the Lord’s mercies! Man’s medicine can only do so much, but the Great Physician has no boundaries!
Continuing to pray for pain relief as you wait for answers…
Praying for relief from pain, healing in your body & rest & encouragement for your spirit.
