It's also possible that this pain is unrelated to the anastrozole. The armoatase inhibitors can cause a lot of different bone and joint pain, not in all people, I hasten to add though. But they're not the only possible causes. Or maybe you can switch to another AI and have less discomfort. Does your doctor have any ideas for helping with this? I hope so...
I am sorry you are having joint issues, I am hopeful that your team is able to moderate this and keep you on track. Hips and knees always seem to be the first to hurt with people, but when you are dealing with treatments it is an added insult. Have they looked at these joints for arthritis changes?
