Talking pain is a real pain

Hi Ginagce
Sorry you're having all these pains. I am on Arimidex and keep threatening my onc. that I am going to go off of it. If I do, I am going to try Aromasin.
Of the three A.I.'s, Aromasin works differently than the other 2. Femera and Arimidex are non-steroidal and Aromasin is steroidal. So there is a chance that you won't get the same side effects on Aromasin. ( Gee, I think I've just about convinced myself to try it ) I also had joint pain on Tamoxafin. It wasn't as bad as Arimidex, but it was bad enough. Good luck with all of this.
