aromasin

I switched from Tamoxifen to Aromasin about 2 years ago. The joint pain was very bad with Aromasin, so my doctor prescribed Celebrex. It makes a huge difference for me. I stopped the Celebrex a couple of months ago for a week to see what would happen. The pain was bad again. I still have joint pain while on Celebrex, but it is tolerable. I remain NED, but am high risk for a recurrence, so will continue the Aromasin.
