My breast cancer is 1A, DCIS. I have been on arimdex and six months in experienced terrible joint pain and the seizing of my hands with thumb, tall finger and ring finger triggering. Only other side effect has been weight gain of 30 lbs. Anyone else experience this?

Hi I’m taking Astrazole the generic of Arimidix . Not terrible joint pain ( mild-moderate) no on weight gain, I actually lost … I used WW online .. to keep my relatively normal weight in check to minimize estrogen. It really works and never hungry. Some hand discomfort at 12 mos. ( now 15.5) .

I am able to handle and minimize joint discomfort with walking, yoga type stretching and hand massage. I consider myself lucky as I typically respond quite dramatically to any meds.

Your oncologist may suggest a couple of weeks “ vacay” from meds then restart or try one of the others. This sometimes eliminates or reduces side effects.

Hoping you get some relief.
