Anyone else suffering with leg, toe, hand and finger cramps. I am presuming it is the Tamoxifen. Also am constantly sniffing which I was not previously and suffering with sinusitis because of the amount of mucus. When I blow my nose nothing there!

  • I suffer with leg cramp and a constant runny nose and I'm on tamoxifen too I have to take piriteze for the constant runny nose hope yours subsides soon I've been taking tamoxifen since June last year xx

  • Been on tamoxifen since mid July last year. Hands feel swollen and achy in a morning but it does wear off. Ankles are swollen by end of day so put my legs up. Thought my runny ish nose was combination of wearing face mask/hayfever. Did get prescribed some stronger anti histamines but they are big and even after chopping them up i struggle to swallow them. Try and remember to take a Loratadine most days. Interesting to hear that it may be the drugs. I know I need to take them but every ache and feeling off is put down to them! 

    Keep going ... one day at a time x

  • I have been taking it since August last year and don't want to add anymore medication to my already extended list of 13 tablets twice a day by adding an anti histamine aswell. The cramps bother me more.

  • Totally understandable I find drinking more  water  helps me hope your symptoms subside x
