Have any of you had puffy painful fingers.?
cant get rings on hand of operated side, panicked and went to docs as thought it could be lymphendema, doc said no and prescribed some anti inflamatries. i thought id read on here in the past that some ladies has had these symptom. im due herceptin no 8 on the 23rd and ive been on tamoxifen for 3 months, no side effects from that as in hot flushes, can you get joint pain from tamoxifen?
any way all comments greatly recieved

Hi there,
I think you can get joint pain on tamoxifen - I ache some mornings but don’t really know what causes it. I would mention about your hand to the onc - don’t want to panic you but mine said a good indication of lymphodema was if you couldn’t get your rings on (assuming you usually can)
cheers
