I took Arimidex for only about 6 months before I quit due to arthritic-like pain. Fortunately, or not, my recurrences 3.5 years later were estrogen-negative, so it didn't matter that I quit.
I don't recall anything that helped the pain. Now, however, I have been taking Morphine Sulfate (15 mg.) once a day for the past 2 years. It controls any pain I have AND is actually better for the body than OTCs. I, too, believe in "natural/complementary" treatments and take several supplements recommended by a cancer-specializing nutritionist. Yet, none are for pain. The best I found for pain in that regard is acupuncture.
But make sure your friend talks to her onc. He/she should be able to recommend something.
Love and light,
Lisa
