I saw my oncologist and told him about my fingers locking up on my left hand. He told me to stop taking the anastrozole for 6 weeks. If the locking up goes away then he will know it was caused by the anastrozole and he will try me on 10 mg of tamoxifen and a daily aspirin.
He didn't want to start me off with tamoxifen because I have the Factor Five Leiden mutated gene and was concerned about blood clots.
I have been off the anastrozole for 12 days and my fingers are still locking up.

@debbie2721 give it some time. It takes awhile for that med to get out if your system. How long were you on Anastrozole? The length of time would, I imagine, play a role. Give it some time. Stay strong & listen to your body. Blessings to you.
