Thanks for your reply Shelly. I was given percocet during treatment. I called my pharmacist after treatment to see if others had lingering joint pain. He suggested the relafen. I called my primary care, who called the pharamicist and issued the prescription. I have tried adivan, benadryl, restural,and ambian to sleep. None worked for more than 4 hours when the hot flashes wake me up and then the joint pain keeps me from falling back to sleep. I'll give the evening primrose oil a shot!
