Stage 3 friends, I am really needing all tips for helping with leg pain after years long use of Anastrazole. It's brutal. I can't walk and am in constant pain.

    My PCP warned me not to get too cocky about my relatively mild SEs after 18 mos. on letrozole—he said with some of his older patients on AIs that the joint pain effects of an AI can take several years to develop. Have you spoken to your MO about a “trial vacation” from anastrazole to see if your symptoms go away, or to switch to a different AI? Maybe an orthopedic or vein specialist consult to rule out other causes for leg pain. It’d help if you could describe the pain—calf, thigh, muscle, bone, joint, burning vs. aching vs. soreness, and whether it’s both legs.
