I am a Brest cancer patient who had to stop my aromatase inhibitor. Letrozole, because my leg muscles began to give out.
Off for 3 months and then decide what is next.
Have burning pain in feet and legs during the night and develop Achilles tendonitis since going for Osteoporosis PT.
PT used an EMS on the legs once. All the above started more after that one procedure.
Do not know if she had it turned up too high and permanently damaged serves in legs.
Have appointment with phlebotomist + ultrasound next week and appointment with sports med Dr and X-ray day after.

Oh wow....Appears to be so many sources of feet and leg issues. When I looked up Letrozole, I got this feedback: "According to the Health Canada Summary Safety Review in 2023 , Aromatase inhibitors (like anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane) have linked these drugs to tendonitis and even tendon rupture. " That's what happened to me, only from statins! WOW Amazing. But what the heck is with the Achilles tendon and these meds?!!!! Of all things to happen. Sounds like it wasn't the EMS, but the Letrozole that caused your issues. Having said the, I am not a doctor, but Letrozole and Statins clearly affect the Achilles tendon and leg/feet issue. Now if we could only find a way to fix our symptoms permanently!! Some of the drugs we use are a blessing and a curse. We have to take them to find out which applies to us. Thank you for posting. I appreciate learning about Letrozole. Best of luck to you Timely. I hope you have a speedy recovery. 🙂 d.
