Aromatase Inhibitors & carpal tunnel and trigger finger: Anyone?

I had trigger finger before taking Anastrozole, but it appeared to have gotten worse after starting on the medication. I came off Anastrozole after a year. The leg pain and cramping were difficult to deal with. My oncologist switched me to 10 mg of Tamoxifen daily, and I feel much better. The trigger finger did not resolve itself even with steroid injections, so I had surgery on my middle and ring finger. Recovery is going well, and my fingers are no longer locking.

I did have some carpal tunnel syndrome from crocheting. I stopped the crochet and the carpal tunnel got even worse. Now I have trouble with my right shoulder. I went off anastrazole after three and a half months and it has been since February 16th that I stopped and astrozole. I think it found my vulnerable spot and and decided to show effects there. If you're taking it it's interesting to notice that a light case of whatever you had before is now doubled or worsened.
