I take a Claratin tablet and eat two tart cherry gummies daily. It has really helped with bone and joint pain for me.
Sometimes Claritin helps but you need to take it every day.
I also have severe pain and stiffness in joints but I take Letrazole. Mine happens to be in my hands and fingers and is like an arthritis type pain. In The mornings I can't even bend my fingers at all until I run them under some warm water and then start moving them. Epsom salt soaks to help a little bit and so does ibuprofen if you can take medication like that. I mentioned it to my doctor because I have fibromyalgia as well and it does make the joint/muscle pain from fibro worse. The doctor said she could put me on anastrazole as that usually has a little bit less side effect like that, but talking to people who are on it I feel that they have just as much pain as I do on the letrozole so there's really no reason to change it. My recommendation is to rust when you can. If you can use a homeopathic type rub, there's something called arnicare... it's made from arnica which is a plant. There's no smell, it almost works immediately. It's temporary but it does take away some of the pain at least in the moment when you're having the biggest flare of it. But you might want to ask your doctor before you use it, just to make sure that it's okay with the medication you take. Heating pads help too. I'm sure you've already tried that. Gentle hugs to you as I know this is an ongoing journey that you have to live with.
I take Claritin daily and day and night, Help so much
