Hi, I’ve been diagnosed with MBC and on Palbocyclib, Letrozole, zolodex etc. I’ve been well on these meds but I’ve developed agonising wrist pain. I’ve tried neurofen which takes the edge off but I can’t keep taking these I don’t want stomach issues. I’ve tried the gel, it’s useless. Dr not very supportive has suggested codine but it makes me light headed. I’d rather treat the pain then mask it with painkillers.
Has anyone had anything similar? Thanks
Hi AliWtem
I'm sorry to read that you've recently developed agonising wrist pain. I don't have any pain relief suggestions to make but have you spoken to your BCN about this? She may be more supportive than your GP.

Thanks for advice. Yes, I’m on it now with Dr and Secondary Breast Care Nurse. x
