@elizm, That was ONE of my side effects from Anastrozole, too. I ended up having an infection iin my thumb. I stayed on Anastrozole for a year and a half with awful side effects, switched to exemestane, and finally to tamoxifen. No side effects from Tamoxifen.

@sparklegram
I tried switching to exemestane and was allergic to it; switched to letrozole and had such swollen feet that I couldn't walk or exercise (compounded no doubt by the chemo-induced neuropathy... but nonetheless); and soon will be giving Evista a try. I think that I'll wait until after I get my second Covid vaccine shot so as not to confuse any reactions.
