Concerned about the side effects of anastrozole

I am 3 years into this and I was wondering if anyone had any ankle/foot pain in the morning. When I get out of bed I have to stand there for at least 2 minutes to get circulation moving (I think). All I know is I keep saying if there is a fire I am screwed because I cannot hop out of bed and walk. I am 55 years old and my body feels 80 😔 Does anyone have this problem and is there any relief of this. It also happens if I am watching tv for a while or sitting at my desk at work. It takes me a while to get moving.

@guntherbear, (love your name!) Yes, ankle and foot pain definitely one of my many symptoms, especially when getting up in the morning and after sitting.
@guntherbear I, too, have the ankle pain plus hand pain. My physical therapist advised me to do stretches for my hands and circles, etc., for my feet before I get up to lube up the joints. It seems to help a bit. Once I'm up, I can move easier but the first few steps I go slow so I don't tip over.
I have joint problems everywhere . Before you get out of bed start to gently move fingers , wrists , ankles while you are laying down to get that circulation going . I learn this from doing yoga . Yoga helps

Sorry to hear about your feet. I have more aches in my hands. I am hoping we will both get relief after the five year mark. Hang in there!
