Dear Ann,
I started on Femara, and developed severe tinnitus within the first month. I had no joint pain. My onc switched me to Arimidex, to see if that would help. It took the tinnitus down a notch (it is related to estrogen deprivation, I believe, and Femara gets the levels down lower), however, on day 21 of Arimidex I noticed a sudden onset of joint pain and stiffness in the hands. These drugs definitely have side effects! It is a real case of "pick your poison." Good luck with your choice.
Hopeful
