Unhappy Arimidex (or Anastrozole) and aches & pains

Hi all
I'm assuming many of you are on Arimidex or a similar Estrogen blocker. Ive been on it for about 9 months now, and my knee pain and general join pain is making me feel like a old lady....lol
My onc told me to try Curcumin 500mg twice a day which I just started out of desperation.

Anyone else find this helpful or can lend me any advise? Ive been taking Advil when its real bad, but there has to be a better way!
Thanks in advance
Dee
