Good morning all
I am struggling with (worst first thing, but also after sitting or being inactive for a bit) finger, wrist, elbow, heel and ankle pain and achy stiff hips. A few of my fingers too have that trigger finger issue first thing. I had chemo ending June 2024 for HER2 positive breast cancer, then surgery and radiotherapy. I am on Letrozole now (another 3-4 years to go) and 1 year left of my bone infusions and am in remission now.
However, this pain is starting to get to me. I struggle with fatigue too but it is on and off and not to the same degree.
I wondered if anyone else struggles with this so long after treatment. I wonder too if it may be the Letrozole too. I do keep moving and thankfully have my dogs which ensure I do. I do take some pain meds and am trying things like collogen now to see if that may help too.
Not sure if anyone may struggle with this too and if they have tried something that may help ease it too?
Thank you
