Re: Anastrozole
Firstly I love your avatar and have five cats myself! I have been taking this drug for six years and will continue as long as I can but have not had the type of backache you had.I've found it does give me joint stiffness and now and then trigger thumb where my thumb locks and gets painful to move but thankfully it doesn't happen too often. I still find the side effects better than the possible alternative so will continue despite some bone loss which is being treated with Zometa and I'm hopeful my next Dexa scan will show improvement from that.Good luck and do give it another while as I found the side effects became easier the longer I take it.
