Do you have peripheral neuropathy? I get pain in the bottom of my feet sometimes that feels like I'm walking on bones.

@raebaby Yes!! I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet and took Anastrozole for one year. Pain got worse as the months passed. After a year I had to quit, could barely walk. Fast forward, foot pain improved the first month off then stalled. Now tapering off Gabapentin which, it turns out is only somewhat effective for some people and can have a paradoxical effect too!!! My oncologist believes now that I am off Anastrozole, getting off Gabapentin should give me foot relief. She been great and right about things so far, staying positive 🤞🏼
