Recovery time after Anastrozole/aromatase inhibitors

@cyndica I am sorry you are going through it. I also have this, I took the cortisone injection once and it fixed it for about 4 months. I spent tons on shoes and inserts like you, and like you I also did physical therapy.
I have now been about 5 years and I can tell you it does ebb and flow and I have found that if I don’t replace my shoes or my inserts in a timely fashion it definitely gets worse.
I eventually landed on merril moab3 shoes and when I buy a pair, I also purchase a second set of insoles. When the pain starts to increase I change them, when it begins to increase a second time I buy a new pair of shoes. This way I get nearly a year from a pair of shoes.
What has helped or not helped you?

I found Orthofeet tennis shoes. I will have to look up the two styles that work. They have a low profile on the back of the heel so it doesn’t rub my heel spur. In addition, they include inserts to lift your foot. In one, I wear the 1/16 insert. The 1/8 in the other. This evens my shorter leg to the longer one and helps my hips.

Orthofeet Kita and Nira.
Merrill fur lined clogs are wonderful for winter.

Sorry to hear you've suffered as well. I have been through two pairs of Hoka Bondi, and Brooks Adrenaline. The Brooks are the most comfortable for walking longer distances, exercising and everyday. Every pair of shoe I own I use Superfeet or Walk Hero insoles. Night splints to sleep or the pain first thing in the a.m. sends me through the roof. Some days better than others, if I do my stretches, foot roller and toeless compression socks I feel almost normal. Still blame the anastrozole (and maybe an extra 20 lbs from not being as active as I used to be). Hope this finds you healthy and in good spirits.
