Recovery time after Anastrozole/aromatase inhibitors

Posted by annedenner @annedenner, Sep 20, 2025

Greetings Everyone,
I took Anastrozole for one year. I had severe arch/foot and leg pain that did not improve. I’ve been off the AI four months with slight improvement in these symptoms. Can anyone share their “recovery” experiences from AIs. What side effects did you have, did side effects resolve and if so how long did it take? Thank you!

This is what Letrozole did to my face and it look over 2 weeks for the Blood to come out after 3 repeated projectile vomiting that spewed it 3 feet from when I ran to the toilet to try and make it. I broke a rib and was coughing up stuff from my lungs for 2 weeks! I stopped taking this poison and at 75 it is not worth the pain that I am still experiencing 5 months later that started while taking it! My rib has healed but my discomfort from the other side effects like many of you have posted have lingered on! I would like to sue the manufacturer!
