I have not been diagnosed yet but am developing symptoms which I ,as a retired nurse, think are highly suggestive of a scenario like yours. Nearly two years of Anastrozole ( Arimidex) have affected me significantly.

I was on Anastrozole for 5 months and had such bad inflammation in my fingers that I couldn’t do anything. I was told this is a side effect to the drug and could go into arthritis. I stopped using it 4 months ago and still feel the inflammation but not as much. I’m hoping I will continue to get better but strongly feel I may have the beginning stages of arthritis in my left thumb. Shouldn’t there be a better way of dealing with the elimination of estrogen? I’m 71 and want to enjoy every day without this pain.
