hi this is my mums condition thats why im unable to give you the names of the tablets
the main cause is 4 weeks ago she started on hormone tablets for breast cancer ,this is her 1st week on radiotheraphy,at the end of the week she has started with servere pains in the groins of her legs and has been unable to get out of bed cause she cant walk and if she trys to stand up she says it feels like her insides are going to fall out.
is this due to what she is going through or her medication or is it something different .
many thanks pat

Since radiation is a local treatment, side effects are usually confined to the area being treated.  Radiation treatment to the chest may cause problems when swallowing, cough, or shortness of breath and breast soreness and/or swelling. I am not sure which medication your mother is taking, but Evista (raloxifene) can cause muscle cramps of the legs.  Please have your mother make an appointment with her physician.
