I never ran in to any joint issues by taking an AI either, but I took it for only 2 days before stopping. That was over 6 years ago. I might have taken it longer than that had the oncologist been truthful with me in the first place about the issues that were known at the time to be of question in regard to HER2 patients with the tamoxifen I'd been taking for 1 3/4 years. As a patient I prefer honesty to speculation that is limited to what these drugs might do for me.
