Since I been on tamoxifen, the middle of my back hurt so bad that within a few hours I will drop to the floor. I been taking effexor but helps all the other side effects of tamoxifen but not the awful back pain. Anyone with advise. Help me. It is really making me think negative about everything.

    I am on both effexor and
    I am on both effexor and tomaxifen. I have always had back problems when I have done to much or the weather changes. I have not had any more than normal problems.

    Check with doctor
    Wow, that sounds awful, and I think you should see the doctor about it. Maybe it's not even caused by the tamoxifen. Hope you get some relief.
