Did you have and how do you manage Letrozole side effects?

I’m going to start Letrozole in few days. Want to know what side effect and if it go away after awhile . Thank you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Breast Cancer Support Group.

I tried Letrozole for a few months but found all the joint pain and other side effects very difficult. Took a break, symptoms got slightly better. Started another AI same problems. I decided after a year of these drugs to stop them.
Most of the joint pain went away except in my knees. I went off drug in December but still have great difficulties getting up from a chair, going up or down stairs etc. I also have one knee that collapses my leg.
I'm now going in for an MRI on my knee/leg and lower back. I'm seeing a new doctor who I hope will help me.
I would try Tamoxifen but I still have my lady parts and it would require an internal sonogram at the gyn office every few months.
I just try to take each new thing one at a time.
