Did you have and how do you manage Letrozole side effects?

My doctor is having me discontinue letrozole for the next four weeks to see if the muscle pain I have developed in my left leg and left buttock will go away. Long-term back pain is apparently pretty common with letrozole.

Terrible leg and joint pain. Discontinued after a year. Put on tamofin and doing much better.

Just wanted to comment on my experience with Letrozole that I wrote about last March 15th. My back pain DID go away when I discontinued letrozole (thank goodness), and my oncologist switched me to anastrozole. I have had much less painful side effects with anastrozole. So if one aromatase inhibitor doesn't work for you, try another. Nobody has to stick with one if it's too difficult. JMHO....
