Hi Victoria, I am on Femara, but not into high level sport. I have been on Femara for 2 1/2 years, and am not worried too much at all about side effects. In the beginning they were bad. I felt very old, and all my joints hurt, and getting up from sitting was hard, and even rolling over in bed hurt. I found fish oil to be very helpful. When I first began to take Femara, there were no problems for the first 2 months. When they got bad I started large doses of fish oil. This eventually helped to stop the aches and pains. I now only take one capsule a day, and my joints are all fine now. My Dr told me to wait and see, and I am glad I did, because it has all settled down, and as I need to be on it for at least 7 years, I am pleased to be symptom free. Good luck with it all. Love Chris xx
