Oh! God Help Us All!
@godhelpusall: I hear you, I almost feel your pain and ache for you... I am so sorry for all your sufferings through the decades!
As most of us probably have experienced this personally, that just about all medications have side-effects or our bodies' reactions to them... In my case, my main goal is to keep those hormone-fueled cancerous cells from popping out anywhere in my body so I strive on taking AI's medicine and mitigating any pains that come with it along the way. It is not an ideal situation, but this is part of my journey...
Wishing you all a blessed holiday season with peace of mind, joyous gathering with your loved ones, and hope for a healthier and happier New Year!

I have been on Letrozole for 1.5 years. First I got 3 trigger fingers in each hand. Had surgery on my right hand since I'm right handed but chose not to address left hand since I have lymphedema following my left mastectomy. One trigger thumb resolved itself on the left hand but now my right hand/wrist is really painful. If this continues, I'll lose functionality entirely so I stopped 2 weeks ago. Since most of the AIs have similar side effects, looks like I'm going on Tamoxifen. I'm 67 with stage 3 C estrogen receptive cancer.
