Letrozole aches and pains
Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a good day today :) I was put on Tamoxifin in March after my BC treatment, and then I found I had PALB2 so I had an oophorectomy and my Onc changed my meds...

Hi @SamL890 I found its a trial and error to find what helps. Exercise is number 1. Gentle to start and never take it past painful
I found it took some months before the initial reaction to anastrozole and Palbo to settle down. It doesn’t help that i also have arthritis
Ive tried many things over the last 5 years. I avoid the strong pain relief as much as possible as I do know my arthritis is only getting worse as I get older. I take panadol osteo morning and night. For pain. Magnesium for cramping and calcium with D for the Osteopenia. I did used red krill which worked but did horror’s to my reflux.

Theres new treatments/mediation for the menopause that have come about recently. Your GP should know what they are. I have heard good things about them.
I also found the time of day I take the pills made a huge difference. I take mine at 7:30 - 8pm at night that also took a trial at different times to find what suited me best.
I actually sat with my oncologist who had my Ct and bone scan results and for each area of pain had a corresponding report about what was arthritis and what was lesions interfering with nerves. I now only have tell her of any new pain or different reaction. I am about to have a short break off Palbo just to get my immune system to improve. Bit scared about that one because treatment is working Doc knows best so I’ll follow her recommendation. With anything that you try run it past your Oncologist first.
