Re: AI related arthralgia question

Sorry to hear you're having pain, Kristin.

If it's the AI, these are things that women have said helped them (easy enough to try):

Stretching kinds of exercise (yoga, tai chi, etc)

Any kind of exercise.

Vitamin D supplementation

Ibuprofen or an rx for Celebrex

Switching to a different AI (As Hopeful found, it doesn't seem to be that one causes less pain than another but more that simply the switch makes a difference -- although some women make one switch and are good for the duration, rather than having to toggle back and forth)

Who can add to the list?

Is the pain all the time, or more severe when you first get moving from being still?
