    I am blaming mine on lack of activity and weight gain. I gained 20 pounds from steroids! I do know that alot of the chemo and tamoxifen and arimidex all cause bone pain. I am sure more of the side effect drugs don't help.
    I know, absolutely no help. I too have trouble picking a source for symptoms!

    Oh Yeah....aching
    Oh Yeah....aching back!....constantly. I did go to a chiropractor for ProAdjustor treatments.... that helped with the range of motion for my shoulder....but the back aches are constant and Oncologist suggests it is from the fomax and armidex. Oh joy....just something else that is part of the new normal :-) But, all in all....I can live with this as long as I can live without cancer! Hugs

    I was on my feet a lot this weekend and I really felt it in my back big time. Never had backaches like this before so it's probably radiation and my two weeks of tamoxifen. But I'm feeling better today, so I'm hoping it's just occasional flareups.
