I'm not yet sure if I'm experiencing joint and muscle pain due to Arimidex and/or Herceptan or even Crestor, but it is much worse than my existing Osteoarthritis. I'm wondering how long after stopping any of these I should see improvement.

    jouje - try taking Claritin once a day - regular not "D" Many people have found this help muscle & joint pain. You need to get in into your system for a week before you start trying to evaluate.

    I had surgery chemo and radiation for breast cancer. I am her2positive so am also doing the Herceptin every 3 weeks. I finish the taxol ( chemo) at the end of November . My symptoms seem way worst now. I almost feel hungover when I wake up in the morning and my body aches. I was told that Epsom salt baths will help clean the toxins out and relieve some of the pain. I am going to try that. Feeling much older than I am.

    fishtrap - I definitely had relief with Claritin. But you have to keep taking it
