My doctor didn't call it tendonitis, he called it bursitis. But I do have grating in my knees and puffiness on the inside of my legs right below the knee. He put me on Meloxicam (Mobic) for the aches and pains I have from the Anastrozole. It helps at night and exercising has helped more. The worst thing I am dealing with now is neuropathy in my feet. It's just enough to be very frustrating because nothing helps much. It's weird but Aspercreme with Lidocaine seems to help the most, Nervive doesn't do squat for the neuropathy. I have been on Anastrozole for 8 months, after 9 months on Letrozole.
Are you experiencing tendonitis while taking anastrozole?
While tendonitis isn't specifically mentioned, anastrozole and other aromatase inhibitors commonly cause joint pain, stiffness, and muscle soreness known as aromatase inhibitor-induced musculoskeletal symptoms (AIMSS). These symptoms can affect your hands, knees Show Full Answer
@A MyBCTeam Member 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 prayers for you
I was on anastrozole, and ended up in the hospital for 4 days. My legs were so bad that, even with a cane, I could barely walk.
Now, they have me back on letrozole. I pray that I don't get the brain fog and muscle and joint pain that I got the first time around. If I can't push through the side effects this time, I won't be able to take anything. The only other medication they've offered is about $100 a month. I can't afford that.
It's hard to make a decision that means I'm going to probably feel like crap for 5 years, or increase my chance of getting breast cancer by almost 50%. Please pray that the side effects will be minimal this time.
I’ve only had slight aching in my fingers when I wake up, after I move them around it goes away. I’ve been on Anastrozole for almost a year.
