Breast Cancer, Adjuvant
"After surgery and radiation therapy, I was unable to take Tamoxifen, so I got a 1-month shot of Lupron to prevent a recurrence of breast cancer. I had no symptoms, so I got the 3-month shot and immediately had problems. I expected the bad hot flashes and dryness, but wasn&#039;t prepared for the severe bone pain and muscle pain.  I&#039;m used to dealing with pain, but this was extreme.  By the end of the 3-mos, the bone pain was gone, but the muscle pain and injection site soreness was still there. I got another 1-mo shot and have been doing better.  Now I have unexplained swelling/soreness in my left hand.  "
