Hi everyone
I was diagnosed with stage 1 oestrogen positive breast cancer October 2007, had lumpectomy and radiotherapy. Over the past few months I have back pain on a regular basis. I had lower back pain for years prior to diagnosis which would come and go, not every day, on the left side of the lower back which I describe as a gnawing pain, I now have it constantly and it has started to move up my back. I am naturally worried about it. I am on Arimidex and wonder if this might be a cause. I would be grateful to hear from others who can relate to this problem.
With many thanks
Hi Deevk,
I was diagnosed at the same time as you and now having similar problems constant lower back pain, also in my upper back which sometimes extends over my shoulder with pins and needles down my right arm. (Cancer was in left breast) I was early stage with no nodes affected and the likelyhood of mets are low.
I am aged 60 and on Aromasin and have put it down to a combination of Aromasin and Arthritis in my spine.
They say if new pain persists get it checked and I will do if it doesn’t clear up
