PinkGirl,
I switched from Arimadex to Femara a few months ago. I still get joint stiffness when I am not moving. It goes away as soon as I get moving again. I am crossing my fingers it does not get worse because I have not been on it that long.
I believe Femara is in the same family as Arimadex so if I need to switch again, it will be to Aromasin.
