Hi.
I was on Letrozole as of July 2021. I've been suffering with bone pain for the past 6 months or so. Dr took me off of Letrozole in Jan and has now started me on Exemestane as of today. Pretty sure I can go back on Letrozole if any of the other AI meds are worse for me.

Hi there, I take Anastrozole and that med has been causing joint pain especially in my hips, legs, shoulder, arms! I am currently going for physical therapy due to lymph node dissection.
I am not sure that switching would help!
Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you @A MyBCTeam Member! I’m trying get more exercises in throughout my day! Have a good day😊

A MyBCTea...

I’m pretty sure you can try another drug, but side effects seem pretty much the same for all of them from what I have researched. I am doing a Chair Yoga program for 20 min a day, and have found that movement really helps.

I'm on Anastrozole since being diagnosed 8/2023. I just don't feel like myself and have started having a lot of low lack pain and sciatica. I will be 78 in May and have had 3 lumbar spinal fusions so this pain is very concerning. I have seen a pain doc in the past and he has done 2 Rhizotomy procedures...one on each side of my lower spine.
Pretty sure my Anastrozole is a contributing factor.
I would love to hear a few thoughts from the group. Thanks. I'm glad to be here!
