You sound just like me! I had terrible leg pain and took pain pills at night for them. My legs were weak also and I had a hard time getting up from a squat or even walking without looking funny! The hot flashes were terrible at night. HOWEVER, I have been on it for about 4 months and I have none of those symptoms now! I wasn't sure if the leg pain was residual from the chemo or not but I believe it was the Tamoxifen (I was a couple of months past chemo). So, for me, it was a little rough at first but now I'm not having a single side effect. Hang in there! Karla

I have been on Tamoxifen for a year now. No hot flashes,(just warm flashes). But I do seem to get very emotional around my period. Wasn't like that before! And they are somewhat irregular, that wasn't the case before either. Good luck!

That is so wonderful that your pain has stopped! I hope I am the same way. We will see what the doctor says on Monday. I hope I can last the pain is so bad by the evening that I am beside myself! Did you gain weight on Tamoxifen? I have gained weight on the chemo and I haven't been able to lose it. I don't want to gain more. Thank you....Marianne
