Sounds like you are still having SEs?? Is that right. I’ll have to look up arterial tachycardia. Are you still taking meds for the issues. I’ve been 2 1/2 years on Anastrazole. I have terrible hip pain to the point of ‘almost’ not being able to walk without pain. I quit the Anastrazole for 3 months to see if that made a difference. It didn’t make a difference. The pain is worse now than before and in my mind a wonder if 3 months wasn’t enough time ti correct things. It is affecting my knee now. I bought orthotics from a podiatrist thinking that would make a different. I am just in the beginning of this 8 days of wearing but I’m not seeing any change. Probably too early to tell. Appt on 4 May with podiatrist.

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?

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...
