That's a bummer, @Cindi .... I get restless legs now & then, but not with associated pain :( It can keep you awake, which can be debilitating in itself, as you feel knackered the next day. :( You'd mentioned restless legs a couple of times before you started the AIs .... so it may just be a coincidence :(
I just did a 'search' on it on BCNA - and here are the results - you may find some nuggets of information that may help xx
Magnesium is supposed to help with muscle twitching etc .... maybe try that (but put it past your Onc first tho.)
How old are you? Had you already gone thru menopause before your surgery? or is it the AIs that are putting you into an early menopause? Cos the sweats & other stuff is pretty well common for going thru menopause :(
Maybe watch the Menopause Webcast on Dec 6th ..... (I just put up a doc about Menopause on the thread to read ...)

Start writing down in a diary, what happens, when and for how long ..... so you can show it to your Onc on your next visit. When do you see them again? Usually it is the Onc that prescribes the AIs, not the surgeon. You could try ringing them too - just try & get it all sorted in the next couple of weeks, cos as of Xmas - they are all 'on leave' til the middle of January!!
You are on Exemestane/Arimidex? From memory you've only been on it a for a week or so & that would be VERY quick acting if it was the meds!
I hope it lessens & good luck this arvo at the GP xx
