I started on Arimidex and experienced joint pain, then switched to Femara. It has been about a year now and no severe discomfort. I do exercise and get massage, which seems to help a great deal. My present major problem is bone density loss. After trying Fosamax for several weeks, stomach discomfort set in. I am now in the monthly doses of Boniva. No problem so far. On AI, try exercise, garden work, walk, massage and chiropractor. Best luck to you.
