Oh my legs
Hi girls , I'm on my second month of femara and does anyone have any hints for chronic pins and needles in the legs, it feels like hundreds of tiny pin pricks, especially worse in the evenings, just t...
I am sorry to hear that this is still happening for you. When I first started on Arimidex I thought my legs would break. I tried everything I thought possible - even Lyrica (I wouldn't recommend this for anyone short term). What helped for me was movement. Sounds funny. Little bit by little bit I built up and the pain is now somewhat unnoticeable. It must be that our bodies adjust over time. It is now nearly 4 years that I have been on it. I went off it during chemo and when I recommenced it, the pain was unbearable. I am still quite stiff on getting out of bed in the morning however I really think I am okay. Keep perservering - I will offer hope and encouragement to you. If you can find a "soft" exercise group I am sure that may help. Do you have access to meditation classes. I did a Mindfulness class for 8 weeks and the movement meditation was remarkable. Little steps for you Adean. From little things big things grow. XLeonie
