The only thing I have to say is maybe the Femara is making you have those symptoms. Please google femara side effects. I have a hard time getting out of bed and walking in the morning due to pain in ankles or knees...I feel like a 90 yr old women until I get up and moving around. Same goes for trying to get up and moving after sitting for a period of time or standing. I also get joint pain in the hands and sometimes numbness. I did start using the treadmill and that seems to help along with Aleve every now and then to help with the pain and stiffness. This all started after talking the Femara and I have been on it for over a year and will continue to take it because of being erpr+.
Good thoughts that it is nothing but the side affects of the medication..especially if your scans are negative.
