Anastazole for breast cancer and memory loss?

Hi, I am on the estrogen blocker Exemestane and have been on this blocker for a year next month.
My pet scans have shown a decrease in my nodules. However, since April this year, I have been experiencing severe pain in my hands and constant numbness, and I have also lost strength in my hands. The neurologist said I had carpel tunnel in my right hand and wanted to do surgery to release the pain. But I am sure if I went off the blocker, the pain would stop.

Ask your oncologist for a break from hormone blockers for a couple months and see if the pain improves. I have taken breaks from hormone blockers and in my case it really helped me to determine side effects.
