I quit Arimidex after 2.5 years. Trigger finger, severe joint and muscle pain in hips, "stabbing" pains all over, neuropathy in feet, general feeling like crap. Not worth the small benefit for my prognosis. I'm feeling better after 3 months off the Arimidex, but all symptoms are not gone yet and probably never will disapear entirely.
