sandrajo @sandrajo- I'm interested to read the responses to this, too. I'm almost at the end of a trial period of going off Arimidex for two weeks. I was having severe pain in my leg and knee, couldn't sleep,to the point where I had to take pain pills. I have spinal stenosis, but I wanted to see if Arimidax was causing this excruciating flair-up. The pain has lessened this week. I'll be going back on the Arimidex on Sunday. We'll see what happens.

I am going through a similar thing and am taking a three week break from Anastrozole as I had such severe knee and leg pain, wrists, hands, etc. Also dealing with insomnia, no hot flashes or sweats. I have been taking it since October of 2019 and it has gotten progressively worse, and my blood pressure is up and have never had that problem before. Since it takes three weeks to get it out of your body not sure we are going to be able to tell much.
