Thank you for the initial post and the interesting responses. . I was on Anasterazole for approx 4 months when the heel pain started. Similar to others, pain is the worst when I first get out of bed am or have had feet elevated for a period of time and then get up. I wear orthotics due to a history of plantar fasciitis. This is not pf- which is chronic pain- with every step- until treated. My pain seems to go away after a few minutes of walking- but for those few minutes, I am walking like a drunken sailor and also cursing like one. Gives me hope that it might peak when I reach 6 month mark. I’ve been doing water aerobics to see if it helps- answer is no. Will ask dr about osteo biflex. I might try to log whennpain occurs to see if changing any behavior (exercise/homeopathic remedies) helps.

Try the osteo bi flex. I had really bad joint pain in my hips and my onco nurse told me twice to give it a try. I finally did and it has helped tremendously. Good luck 🌹

I had to share you description with my hub as this is exactly me. Except I describe me walking in the am or middle of the night to the bathroom as being from "tales from the crypt/walking dead". If I didn't know better Id think I also had stress fractures on the outside bones of my feet. It's like my feet don't work, and then yes the hands I have to exercise and open/close. Occurs when I have been sitting but especially when feet up on ottoman or in bed. At 56 I feel like I have aged 2 decades. I am starting to take Tylenol more frequently for the other aches and joint pains, and I have vowed this week to ice bath my feet and ankles and resume foot massages - not sure it will help.
Also - I am a year now on Anastrozole, still hot flashing and night sweating, and the foot pain etc has not subsided. I too hope it will be the case soon, though. I can now start to imagine a scenario where I say no more. Not there at all, but I can see how women just tap out on these meds due to quality of life.
