I began Exemestane May 1, 2013. For about two weeks I have been having trouble with trigger thumb. I called the oncologists office and the PA stated that he did not think it was the Exemestane. I am supposed to go see my PCP. I am sure it is the exemestane but to appease them I am going to see the PCP. I have other joint aches in both hands but nothing like the right thumb. I see the oncologist at the end of September. I hate to think of my hands being like this for five years.

I saw the PCP and he does not think it is arthritis, he thinks itmismthe Aromasin. Now it is starting in my left thumb and left middle finger. The right thumb is more painful when it locks in the bent position.

I am going to call the oncologist office tomorrow and get my appointment moved up. I am miserable. I am also having some depression but I think it is because my my hands.
