I have had Planters Faciiatis for about a year. Since I've been taking Anestrozole it has gotten so much worse. The heel pain feels like I'm marching on nails. I stopped the A for a month and it was almost gone. I'm on 3 1/2 weeks of taking it again and it's making it hard to walk. I can't say for sure if it's the A or just a coincidence. Actually the other day I was wondering if the increases in pain can be from A. Does it magnify all our ills? My middle finger left hand used to hurt when I woke up. Since A they all hurt when I wake up but it is short lived.

In my opinion the Anastrozole just exacerbates joints/tendons and I suppose ifnyou have an issue then yes it probably magnifies that? My hands ache in the am and I have to open/close like I have arthritis? But also woerdly between 4th/5th finger the worst and seems to be nerve related. Again, it subsides, but just strange and all contributes to feeling like I have fast forwarded my aging.
I just resumed getting foot/Calf massages and going to do that regularly to invest in a more healing/therapeutic solution. Just can't keep taking advil etc so hoping that helps. That being said, I now fantasize about just stopping the A bc of quality of life.
Hang in there all!!! 💕🤜🤛
