I had to complain to my onc. about my joint pain from the Arimedex. It seemed to progressively get worse to the point where I could hardly go up and down the stairs. He took me off the Arimedex for two months to see if the pain went away...it did. So now I am on Femera. I am having a lot of joing stiffness, but it is better than the joint pain. The stiffness also seems to progressively get worse. I am wondering if it hurts to take a few weeks off the AI once in a while to let your body recoup. ...???
I would definately have your onc switch you.
