@appaloosagal- I have all of these side effects and some of the others that have been mentioned along the way by other people. Specifically, what joint pain do you have? My upper arms (shoulders) hurt. I've also had to go in twice to ophthalmology for injections in my thumbs of all places! I've had insomnia on and off since day one. I began taking Arimidex 17 months ago.

I have had severe pain in my hands AND in my shoulders too!! Also my knees, but not sure if that's my arthritis.

My knees seem to bother me, I ride horses so I notice it the most. I don't have the strength i normally have. I struggle now to get my saddle on my horse. You know it's funny that i had more side effects then i thought i did. I attributed most of them to getting older. But when i went off of Anastrozole for 2 months i got to feeling good, so now I know more what is caused from the Meds.
