achey breast after taking Tamoxifen

achey breast after taking Tamoxifen

Since having a cancer and having a mastectomy of my left breast I am now taking Tamoxifen.

I have just started getting an achey (achy) right breast and arm is this caused by Tamoxifen.  Is it a side affect.??

Certainly one of the side effects of tamoxifen is aching joints. I doubt that the ache you describe is coming directly from your breast since pain can be referred from one place to another. This may be a general achiness or maybe even a muscle strain that you don't even recall happening. If you are overly concerned then by all means take this up with your Oncologist or Primary Care Physician.    Regards .....
