Dotsmum I believe that that is one of the side effects from this type of medication,have you got the patient information leaflet from inside the box that should show you the list of side effects that may happen,if not your pharmacist should be able to give you a copy,or at least discusss your symptons with you.Have heard of similar effects from people that are taking medication for other types of cancers.

I thought they tended to prescribe anastrozole more than tamoxifen these days [although I don't know if the side effects are different].

Are any of you lovely ladies on tamoxifen after breast cancer? I find it is giving me atrocious flushing along with sore joints and I think it is causing my vision to blur. Any one else have these problems?
