Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I was on AI for ten or more years total, some on tamoxifen and some on anastrazole. The problem with tamoxifen was that I could not take my normal antidepressant while on it. No one who has to be around me wanted me off of that. 😂😂 my brother calls them my nice pills. I did have joint and muscle stiffness and soreness, and I still do a couple of years later. I blame it on the accelerated aging from a lack of estrogen, but I never had tingling in my hands. When your hands tingle are you sitting quietly or sleeping, or are you were active? Did you take chemotherapy?

The hand tingling was mostly when I sleep, so initially I thought it was the way I had my arm. But then it happened when soaking, laying back in my tub. My head/chin downward i.e. messing with my phone. Hardly ever when active. Sometimes sitting in my recliner reading. I wear progressive glasses so my head is adjusting where o can see.
The PT gal said my neck muscles were very tight, pulling up my rib in that area. Since I’ve been doing my exercises, the tingling has alleviated some.
The different achiness I have, I kept telling myself it was age. Maybe, but I’m not will to just sit around and let that happen- whether from med or aging - I choose JUST KEEP MOVING.
