I am 52 and just started letrozole. My lower back hurt horribly. May change meds but isn’t the back pain from the lack of estrogen which will be the same even switching meds. I don’t know how that will help. I’m miserable and wondering if it’s even worth taking checking my odds with my doctor.

@jnd welcome. I would talk to your oncologist about the pain and if switching to a different aromatase inhibitor may help. The side effects profile varies and each woman reacts differently. Switching may be an option to try.

Has the pain changed since you last posted?
