Could chemo have caused my osteopenia to become more "noted" as in more pain or to advance to arthritis?

Yes to both, also may be related to other drugs you may be taking. I would suggest you notify your doctor. He may want to do some further testing! God bless.

Before my chemo I was in early stages of Fibromyalgia. About 6 months after my treatments I was diagnosed with full blown Fibromyalgia in 18 places plus. My doctor told me that it was very possible that my treatments caused this to happen. I don't know if all cases are the same, but this is what happened to me.
