I have been on Arimidex since April 03. Since that time I have had aches of the back which feel muscular. Still have aches to the ribs, front and back. I suppose that could be left over from the chemo; it's hard to know. My legs/feet are quite stiff when I first start walking, but that lasts about 10 steps or so.
Also have hot flashes. Sometimes I feel like I am going into a complete melt down with the hot flashes!! But they only last about a minute. Have had night sweats too, but they are few and far between.
I had a DEXA scan a couple months ago, which showed a decrease in bone density over the last 2 years. I now have osteopenia which (I think) means a lower amount of calcium in the bone, so I was given Actonel, a type of bisphosphinate comonly used to treat osteoporosis.
Blessings to you,
Barbara
