I have been on Femara for nearly 4 years with no pain effects (some other side effects but not aches or pains). I did get sore and damaged feet (toes, soles and heels) however through peripheral neuropathy which is not uncommon with Taxol and related chemotherapies. I used to dread anyone standing on my toes! My oncologist suggested Vitamin B, and it helped considerably.

Your oncologist or GP can easily advise if anything is not a good idea, otherwise it's worth a shot. Good luck.
