I had pain with anastrozole too. So bad I could hardly walk. It took a third med, exemestane, and now I can go for walks and the hot flashes are even better.

I've heard Female has less bad effects too.

I found the same results. Yikes, with anastrozole I could barely stand up as my feet and ankles were so bad as well as hands and every other joint in my body. Letrozole wasn't much better. Finally, with exemestane I have a life again - don't have all that cloudy brain either. As long as I walk daily, do my after-breast surgery exercises twice weekly, and knit to exercise my hands then life is livable. After a year now, even the "heat bombs" are not as bad.
