I have been on Arimidex for about 10 months now. Still have the trigger thumb. The rest of my joints feel fine during the day but at night when I get up I can feel it fairly significantly. As soon as I get up in the morning, my joints are fine.
I do yoga about 3 times a wk, some wt training and running a couple of times a week.
I had one treatment of acupunture and that seemed to open the channels in my thumb and it felt stronger.
My thumb pretty much stays straight most of the time, but in that position, I can still function fine.
During the day, so far (knock on wood), I have no joint pain or discomfort.
