Arimidex/joint prob update
I have been on Arimidex since mid-May of this yr. By around 6 months started getting this "trigger-finger" in my thumb. I was almost ready to swtich to another AI, but I had acupunture done about 1 1/2 wks ago and it feels improved. It still locks, but it feels stronger and it has less discomfort.
I have some joint discomfort, but I only feel it at night when I wake up in the middle of the night. During the day I am pretty much fine except for the very limited motion in my left thumb only.
I do yoga 3 to 4 times per wk and I think that is helping overall with the joints.
