Re: Continued hip pain and MRI results.
I am taking Arimidex and I have hip pain similar to what you described. I didn't take it for a couple of weeks (I forgot to take it on a trip) and my hip improved. I am back to taking it and my hips are bothering me again. I can't sleep on my right side because of the mastectomy and sometimes my left hip feels like it on fire. After my commute my hips are very stiff. It takes a little while before I can walk comfortably. My hope is that this is not going to cause damage that will continue after I finish the Arimidex, I may be wrong but I am pretty sure that is where this hip pain is coming from.
