    Is anyone still having scalp pain from the Arimidex that started it back in 2008?  I am.  I'm due to see the oncologist this next monday and NOT happy that no answers are offered when I questioned it.  This time I won't leave till I get an answer, even if it's he does not know.....

     Hope all are doing well...

    thank you for starting this thread. I was getting worried! I am on Arimidex now for 4 years, the scalp pain top my head is worrisome. It is exactly as you say, like pulling on your hair, the tightness/pressure, dull ache. Not always there but there enough to notice. I am so relieved to know it's most likely the medicine. But how do we relieve it? Would Effexor work?

    I have noticed increased scalp tenderness, and like you, it feels the same as when I was first losing my hair during chemo. I have been on Arimidex for 7 months now.
