AI related arthralgia question
I have been on AI's since October 1, 2006. I started on Femara, then swtiched to Arimidex after 6 weeks due to severe tinnitus. I stayed on Arimidex for about 11 months, until the gradually worsening thumb (both left and right) arthralgia got severe enough that I could not turn the key in the lock of my front door. The severity of the pain was mild and intermittent up to that last month, when it really increased in intensity. I switched back to Femara at that time, which I have now been on for 11 months. I started out with no arthralgia discomfort, then gradually onsetting intermittent arthalgia in the wrists and ankles (thumbs are fine this time!) This has once again gotten very bad over the course of the last month. I have a month's worth of unexpired Arimidex around that I am going to try starting tonight, to see if there is symptom relief or if I go back to sore thumbs (there HAS to be some ironic twist to that symptom).
Has anyone else who switched from one AI to the other had a similar experience?
Hopeful
