I started anastrozole in November. The pain has been so bad. I have trigger thumb and can bend several fingers. Can’t play golf anymore. Bone aches. I decided to go off the pill. I do have much more energy now I’ve been off for two weeks still have joint pain, but nothing new. May try a different pill, but I think I’m going to be in pain no matter which pill I take. I had a 98% estrogen stage one. I know I have to make some decisions but boy it sure is difficult. My heart goes out to all of us who have the side effects. The doctor seem to be so immune to our complaints. I wish they would do some more clinical studies on other medications.

I’m sorry to hear that. Yes, the doctors do seem very immune to all of our complaints. My doctor seems to do the treatment and not handle The side effects Well. I had stage one right side and just had a lump ectomy. This was a year and a half ago, my oncologist radiologist did say people cannot take these pills. My regular Oncologist disagrees. But I have spoken to too many girls that cannot take the pill. Going to stay off for a couple months to see if my hands get any better because it is becoming debilitating. I’m too young for that. I will give it one more shot in a few months, but only taking the pill either every other day or three times a week other girls said their doctor said something is better than nothing. My doctor did not agree but again I think we have to be our own advocates, Do the research and do what we feel is best for our bodies. Side effects on these pills are horrible and my regular MD doctor did agree I wish us all the best ❤️
