Can joint pain of aromatase inhibiters (AIs) be reversed completely?

I took Anastrozole for 18 months until I couldn't stand the joint pain and swelling. After being off of it for two years the carpal tunnel and joint pain in my hands especially has not gone away. It was four years since my surgery this month, so far so good, I am 78.

I’m on Anastrozole as well and having the same issues. Plus I can’t sleep! I started on Thanksgiving Day see the Dr next week. If it is this bad going forward. I’m stopping as well! Thanks!

This is helpful to read, since I have started having pain issues with Anastrozole after 7 months. Numbness in my left hand when I wake up, hold my phone and even doing aqua zumba(seems odd). Hip pain when I sleep on my side and for a while after waking up. Hip and leg pain after 30-minute car rides that takes 5-10 minutes to loosen up and walk normally. I plan on checking the % rate of recurrence without this drug. I like to follow Dr's recommendations...but..want to feel normal again.
