A Side Effect of Arimidex

[Looby]

Dear All,

I am 'investigating' Arimidex on behalf of my mom.

A quick b/ground. She is 52 and was diagnosed with breast cancer in her left breast in november last year. She underwent a radical mastectory and underwent 6 months of chemo and then 5 weeks of radiation. 2 Months ago she was given the all clear.

She has been on Arimidex for a few months now and is suffering from terrible joint pain. So much so my step-dad has to help her up our of bed in the morning and she can no longer climb the stairs without considerable difficulty.

The doctors have not been able to ease this for her. What I wanted to ask is if there are any Ladies on this board who have also had a similar side effect from Arimidex and found something that eased the symptoms.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
