i recently started hormone therapy - the day after my first injection i got a stiff neck - still have symptoms for over a month - coincidence or a side effect?

  • Coincidence I’m sure.

    I had Chemo earlier this year and very nearly everything that happed to my body was attributed to the chemo side effects. I however couldn’t agree.

    Keep a journal of when and what happens and you’ll be glad you did when asked about the issues you’re having at a later date.

    Are you taking anything for the stiffness?

    I’ll be honest (with tongue in cheek) stiffness was the very thing I wanted after starting HT, but not in the neck.

  • Hello Daniel,

    I'm with Mr U, I've not heard of anyone with this after starting HT, but if it's gone on for over a month I think it would be a good idea to consult your doctor to be sure it's nothing to be concerned about.
