I'm sorry about the pain. I have been on it two years and the pain has lessened. I take it at night. I also lost some of the weight I gained during chemo and that helped. One thing cancer teaches us is own individual our bodies are. 3 billion people and 3 billion individual reactions. I was invited to be in a study that might have kept me on aromatase inhibitors for 10 years. I passed. Five is enough.
