Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

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?

francine6829 - don't know how old you are but note that doctors will generally NOT let you take Tamoxifen if you are post menopausal....it's only for pre menopause treatment. Tamoxifen doesn't have the joint pain or damage but it can mess with your blood pressure and heart.........

@francine6829 - the MRI was of my lower back. She just prescribed an X-Ray of my hip and femur for today. I just emailed my Oncologist to ask her opinion about an experiment of going off Arimidex for two weeks. I got a rapid response that she is out of the office until the 8th!
