NeuropathyWow! I've had some of the same problems. Did not realize that Arimidex was the culprit, but should have. that explains the shoulder disability after a shoulder replacement and the neck surgery and the neuropathy that seems to be developing in my legs. Onc and Ortho are both hesitant to blame any meds. There are no related ailments in my family history. So far I am controlled on Neurontin and Celebrex. Still have pain, but can function around the house. But am having trouble finding a nursing job that does not require being on your feet all day. |

why do I keep fracturing bones?Since I had my cancer in 2002, (chemo and total r mastectomy) I have had shoulder replacement, knee replacement, neck surgery, and cannot walk a block without stopping due to pain. I cannot do the pulling needed for nursing and cannot find a nursing job that I can do. My orthopedist says I have bad DNA. My oncologist says the chemo is not the cause. My bone density tests are okay. This is very frustrating.
