I did not tolerate tamoxifen or arimidex very well. When I switched to aromasin, it was magical (for lack of a better term)! I had absolutely no joint pain. I tolerated this med for four more years, making that a total of my required 5 years and just had five year check up in November and went off meds. I also have to tell you that before I switched to aromasin, I started to excercise because I was advised this greatly reduces some of the joint pain. As bad as it felt at the time, this was great advice. Exercise really does help with some of the pain. Then, when going off arimidex and starting aromasin, the pain completely subsided and I was able to exercise even more effectively. Made a world of difference in my everyday life!
Maybe this isn't the case for everyone butmaybe aromasin is worth a try for you. It is an AI so not sure why one would be advised and not the other!
