@Joannie I was on rimidex for just over a year, the joint pain was the worst part of it, I never had any problems on tamoxifen for 4yrs but the difference was I was pre menopausal then. My Oncologist switched me to Aromasin this year as sometimes a slight variation in meds can be better, its actually the same lol. Thing is I actually only have panadol osteo now maybe once a week, thats it which is incredible. Apart from joint pain the medication doesnt cause other symptoms for me. I was getting hot flushes before the meds being thrown into menopause unnaturally, it doesnt change on or off the medication. I attribute the rest of my stuff to treatment and I think having trialed off the meds for 6 weeks showed me that it purely was only the joint pain. As Ive had a recurrence already, im sticking to it, I actually dont think about it much now. I think being well enough which has taken 2.5yrs to rehabilitate I am finally ready for full time work up from my 3 days reduced capacity and into a new School and out of a toxic environment. xx M
