Hi pmom3366, I had Anastrozole for 20 days only. It gave me terrible back pain I barely can walk. I quit. Now I am on Letrozole for 6 months, I was doing OK. But on 7th months I have feet edema and my Oncologist said that is nothing to do with letrozole. She wants me to see my PCP. I insisted that is her job to treat me and told her to google it. So she called and ordered U/S stat. to R/O DVT. I had it done immediately. The results is Negative luckily. Now she give me 14 days off the drug. I don't know what she will do the next. I might to try the same drug again. My question to you is that you have been suffered for 3 years. Why are you keeping taking it? Why not to try different AI. Pain is terrible to handle I feel so sorry for you. Because I have other medical issue that I need to take painkiller every day.

@songfamily2025 I have a very high pain tolerance and a finger and thumb hurting can be tolerated. It was the recent back pain and knee pain making it difficult to take my walks is when I decided to go off for a few days. My sister was on Tamoxafin and I truly believe the med killed her. She made it almost five years. She had hair, nail, skin side effects at first then her knees where hit hard around three years. Forth year she had skin cancer and a clot that almost killed her. It then hit her heart. She was hospitalized and they said her abdominal was loaded with clots. Her heart gave out but it was the Tamoxafin. The doctor told her her tamoxafin is tried and true!!!! Bullshit!! I didn't want to come out and complain because it makes people question their meds but for me three years was better then none. Quality of life is better then quantity.
