Hello! I developed two trigger fingers and De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (severe pain in my wrist tendon). I saw an orthopedic doctor who diagnosed my wrist condition, which my former oncologist poo pooed the idea and said it was not from Anastrozole — for that and other reasons I have found a new oncologist.

The orthopedic doctor suggested I have surgery, but instead I asked about PT in his office. After 8 PT visits I had some relief, but I went off Anastrozole for a month and started on Letrozole. I continued OT for 5-6 weeks, learned exercises to do daily, and my De Quervain’s and trigger finger were 95% better. It’s bern 14 months since I left PT, and I now have occasional slight pain in my wrist, and one finger if I over use it — then I do exercises a few times and I’m good as new. I have never had to wear my brace again!

Wishing you the very best, Pink Sister!
