I've been on Arimidex for almost two years. I've always had joint pain but now I'm experiencing pain in the bone of my right leg.

Has anyone else had delayed side effects on Arimidex?

I was on Arimidex for 3 years. I had joint pain during that time. I started having pain in my left hip. I was diagnosed with Mets to my femur and had to have a titanium rod placed in the bone. Insist on a nuclear bone scan!
