Arimidex - joint pain
I have been on arimidex for nearly two years and still suffering with joint pain. Can I expect the joint pain to ease at all?;

@LMK74 I was on Arimidex for a year, suffered exactly as you did, so in Feb of this year my Oncologist made me keep a diary and come off it for 6 weeks, within about a week there was a big difference off it in terms of pain. I then had to go back on it regardless until I saw him as I had mastectomy/diep flap recon at the same time. So he then put me on Aromasin, he said they are similar but sometimes a change can be enough to have lesser symptoms. I must admit I don't think I have anywhere near the pain joint stiffness I had on Arimidex. I also think its a combination of chemo too it takes approx 2 yrs to recover. Chemo made me gain weight, Aromatose inhibitors never did though, mind you cannot shift the chemo weight, its a shit!! x
I'd talk to your Oncologist if it is still severe...another thing I know has helped me alot is Magnesium in water every morning. This particularly helps with pain, I honestly have to say its improved.
