The rollers are the big foam rollers you see in gyms or at a PT office (black is usually the firmest). The other rolller is called "The Stick" and it's 17" long $30 on Amazon. I love it because I can roll my calves, thighs, neck (especially C1 at top of spine near the ear) and feet. I get calf cramps at night that can prevent me from sleeping and this roller has saved the day (or night)! Its also a great help for my stiffness in my neck.

I've been on Arimidex 3 mos and my symptoms started mildly in my knees, something I'd never had before. I do think symptoms can come and go as my knees are generally better but my hips are very stiff. I work out 3X/week and my Pilates helps a lot but i walk like an older woman, Im 54. Generally my back and hips are sore all the time and my calves cramp at night. My oncology nutritionist added calcium, Vit D and Glucosamine/Chrondroitin to my daily Alive Woman 50+ vitamin and will see if symptoms subside in a few weeks. She reminded me Tamoxifen help build bones but the A1's deplete the bones. That's why she added additional supplements to my daily vitamin. She also gave me a list of foods - ie: bright green, red and orange veggies and fruits.
