Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I wrote here last week that I'm having such leg, hip, and knee pain that my doctor ordered an MRI. It showed a worsening of my stenosis and spinal degeneration. I have an appointment with my spine doctor on the 9th. I'm thinking of trying an experiment (with the consent of my Oncologist) of going off Arimidex for two weeks to see if that might be the culprit. Has anyone here tried that, and if so what were your results?

Yesterday, when my doc took my estrogen levels and saw they were zero AND I complained of bone pain, he has taken me off of Femura for 2 weeks. Doc said sometimes that helps to reset the body. I might ask to try Tamoxifen. Did you have an Mri of your knee? Does your spinal doc think the Arimidex caused the spinal degeneration?
