Exercise while on hormone therapy

Has anyone experienced an increase in muscle and joint stiffness after exercising?

I have noticed some increase in muscle and joint pain after exercising. I just completed a full year of Evenity shots. I begin my Prolia shots in a week. I think it’s worth the shots for the bone protection, even if there is stiffness after exercising—if sadly I were to fall, there are fewer chances of breaking bones. It’s a trade off. Béla

When I was on letrozole, I noticed increased pain in the first 20 minutes of exercise (say, a walk) but if I stuck with it for 45 minutes, I felt great. My oncologist told me she had heard similar accounts from other patients. I understand this may not be true for everyone, but for me, the length of time spent exercising was key.
