A member asked:
Does tamoxifen cause osteoporosis? i have been on it for 7months and have tailbone pain when i sit down could this be a side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SERMS/Tamoxifen: Tamoxifen is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator. Tamoxifen blocks the effects of estrogen in breast tissue, however in bone, tamoxifen is able to stimulate the estrogen receptor, and SERMS are actually considered a treatment for osteoporosis. If you have been treated for breast cancer, I would immediately report any bone pain to your treating physician right away, even coccydynia.
