Hi @Chevvy,
Doctors are such cheery little souls aren't they? Fancy telling you something like that when they bloody well know these tablets are not a guarantee anyway. Pisses me off every time I here some get told that sort of thing.
Anyhoo..............I pretty much tried everything over the first 12 months. Fish oil, magnesium, glucosomine random joint products accupuncture etc etc etc the list was endless. What did eventually work for my back and hip pain was blackmores joint formula advanced recommended by a friend with constant back issues. Dear as poison but often on sale at chemist warehouse. It didn't totally get rid of it but it's a pretty dull roar these days.
I was a bit further down the track when i discovered it than you are, so don't know if its strong enough at the start but is definitely worth a try. I got a friend of mine that's on Letrozole on it when she was near not walking from the pain and it's improved for her as well.
The second thing that really helped was a change of brand. They tell you they're all the same but it can really make a difference.
Changing brands subdued the nausea, I still get it (3yrs on it now) but it is far less often and doesn't last for long, same for the dizziness. It also helped ease the hot flushes from atomic to annoying but I think time played a bit of a factor in that as well.
All the best sweet. xoxoxo. Bloody drugs. Phooey.
