Letrozole and soft tissue injuries
Hi all
Been a while since I’ve been on and hoping someone can help.
Have been on Letrozole 3 years and this past year seem to be having a few soft tissue injuries not justified by my activities.First tennis elbow followed by plantar fasciitis and now have torn muscles in both upper arms , the left shoulder is also effected.I’m wondering if it’s related to Letrozole ? I see my oncologist for annual check up next week and will be bringing it up with him.

- Both my shoulders have been playing up in recent months, had X-ray and US on the right and i5 showed bursitis. Also got a hip/pelvis ache that I want properly checked out ... will be in touch with my Onc on Mon re that!
i hope your shoulders settle down @Romla ... tho torn bits are problematic. :( - Wouldn't surprise me @romla I seem to be able to injure myself in my sleep. And if I do something that would normally hurt, it's so much worse than it should be.
- Hi @Romla
That sounds like a lot but after nearly eight years, I don’t seem to have had any problems. A bit of lingering issues around one knee but that was caused by a fall (hotel staff leaving a power lead unmarked at a gig!) so not Letrozole. I hope your oncologist can clarify things. Best wishes.
