Tricia,

You will feel improvement very soon. Just to squat down to pick up something from the floor without severe pain will surprise you, because my bet is you have become accustomed to the chronic pain. I have switched back to Tamoxifen after my 3 years of Femara. My joint pain is so much improved. I do take 2 caps of Tart Cherry Extract, which is a mild anti-inflammatory, to help when I overdo things! The aging process continues!
