@iserbrown I’ve been to the GP who thought it was a tendon injury. Put me in a support bandage and told me to take nurofen and rest it. No improvement.
Then went to osteopath who thought it was trigger thumb but then changed it to just a bit of arthritis. No improvement.
Then saw the oncologist who seemed pretty sure it was tendon related from the Letrozole. I had some other tendon issues start in my heel and knee in the last 6 months also. The knee got better when I stopped Letrozole for a month last year. She said that she has seen some weird tendon type issues from Letrozole.
Now I am off Letrozole, trying acupuncture (they are confident they can fix it) and hoping something works soon. :#
