You just described my experience during the first few months with anastrozole. It went away after a while but I had to switch to exemestane because of the finger stiffness, so bad that I couldn’t pull my blanket up at night. I did occasionally experience ocular migraines in the past without pain. Exemestane worked better for me until it caused petechiea on my calves. So now I’m on Letrozole. So far so good. For me, side effects usually happened after a few months and they got worse. The ones that appeared right away would go away after a while. So hang in there. Hopefully it’ll go away eventually.
