Hello, again! Thanks for your reply! What did you do about your trigger finger? Did it get better once you were off Letrozole? Did you have cortisone shots or surgery? Interested to hear. 😊

Hi again! It is in my left middle finger, and my oncologist said at this time he didn't recommend that I do anything. I thought that was puzzling, but went along with it. I see him again next month for follow-up.
The trigger finger has remained consistent throughout the break I took from letrozole and now with being on the exemestane again. Ironically, my husband had trigger finger during this time as well! Haha, I told him it must be sympathy pain. His GP sent him to an orthopedic doctor who gave him a steroid injection which worked immediately to alleviate his symptoms! If mine persists, I'll try to go to the same ortho and ask for an injection. Take care!
