Suggest Treatment For Pain And Stiffness In Hip And Back
I have lower back and hip pain and stiffness as a result of taking tamoxifen for breast cancer. I have been of the medication for 4 years but current thinking suggests staying on it indefinitely.....Panadol osteo offers some pain relief and so does meloxicam. Any other suggestions for pain relief?

Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
there can be degenerative wear of bones, muscles, ligament and loss of elasticity of muscles, due to deficiency of calcium, vitamin D, VIT B12 and carnitine.so supplements of these nutrients can relieve pain.
In post cancer osteoporosis is very common osteoporosis leads diffuse pain in back.
Check your bone strength with DEXA SCAN and you can start medication according to level of osteoporosis,
You need to start supplement of calcium with vitamin D, vit B12, and if osteoporosis is severe then bisphosphonates /teriparatide can be started.
I will advise you to do regular physiotherapy and exercises as my patients find much relief by these therapies.
You need to take diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
