Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I have been on this med now for, 3 years. Some days it is so very hard to move,however I find that if I can start out slow moving, it can feel better. Then after a rest the pain and stiffness come back 2 fold. My oncologist told me that it was not likely to be the meds effects on my muscles, just in my joint pain...does anyone have the soreness in soft tissue?

Hello @sueseeque! Welcome to Connect!
Have you considered massage or a foam roller? I wonder if that would help the soreness?
I noticed that on this list of side effects http://mayocl.in/2m5bKo9 pain was listed as a "less common" side effect. @dianne53, @cautiousoptimism and @starrlight- have any of you experienced joint pain with the medication?
@sueseeque, what other side effects are you experiencing?
Great suggestion. I have a foam roller and i love it

Have you tried "The Stick"? You can order online from Amazon $28. It's a therapeutic massage stick for tissue pain (calves, thighs, quads, neck etc.). I got one from my PT and it's a huge help.
