Unfortunately Bengay and Tylenol do little against high cholesterol and osteoporosis. I am 63 and have been on Anastrozole for 1 year. A visit to my primary doctor last month showed my bad cholesterol is in the high range for the first time even though I exercised and got my weight down to normal range. The pain in my hips is gradually getting worse. On the upside strength training has improved overall fitness which will help with stability.

I am 67 and I have been taking anastrozole for 5 months. My cholesterol went up and the doctor suggested medication. I attributed the high cholesterol to eatibg too much ice cream and told him to let me have time to get my diet in check. I have been dealing with joint pain for several years but recently notice bone pain in my hips, feet, ankles and forearms. I don't know if it is from the anastrozole or just age. I find walking does help. I try to walk at least 5 miles a day or at least 5 says a week. I am afraid to stop taking the medication because I don't want to get breast cancer.
