No pain
I want to bump this back up.
I have been on an AI for 2 yrs now. I started with Arimidex and experienced "trigger" thumbs. Acupuncture cleared it up. I switched to Femara and have been on that for over a yr. I have no joint pain and no trigger thumbs. The only side effect I feel is mild stiffening of my fingers at night when I sleep. As soon as I get up in the AM, the fingers are back to normal.
Best of luck to all of you that are experiencing joint pain.
