Fulvestrant Side Effects

Hello
I have extensive bone mets & have just been switched to Fulvestrant & Denosumab.
i had my first injections a week ago & all was fine until yesterday when the pain in my hips has increased significantly. I have upped pain killers & have onc appointment in week before next injection.
I was just wandering if increase in pain is normal? Does it last? Or is it the cancer? It’s Taxol next if this combo doesn’t work.
