I started Arimidex in April 03. Have had on and off aches in the back since then. The "aches" sometimes feel more like a pain. It is most noticable in the ribs. Sometimes it is felt in the front ribs, and sometimes back.
I started Herceptin in May 05. The aches/pain are still in the rib area, but seem more pronounced since starting the Herceptin. For a while, it seemed the 5th day brought a more achy feeling (I take weekly Herceptin). But I had a treatment yesterday, and the aches have been quite noticeable today.
If it's bad enough, I take a Tylenol, and try not to worry. The Tylenol seems to help some.
About a year after starting the Arimidex, my onc and I were discussing bone aches and he commented that he thought the aches would go away after my body got used to the Arimidex, but that hasn't happened. Maybe he was just making an assumptin.
Blessings, Barbara
