    Hi @lilywyong1 , welcome! We’re really glad you found us, though we’re sorry you’re dealing with this.

    Some members on Tamoxifen do report joint or muscle pain, including stiffness in the neck and shoulders, so you’re definitely not alone in noticing symptoms like this.

    You might find this page helpful for more information: https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/hormonal-therapy/tamoxifen on our main site. Also, one of our most active discussions, “Bottle o’ Tamoxifen”, is a great place to read about others’ experiences and share your own.

    If the pain is persistent or worsening, it’s a good idea to mention it to your doctor so they can help you figure out the best way to manage it.

    We’re here for you. Let us know how you’re doing.
