I’m going to start Letrozole in few days. Want to know what side effect and if it go away after awhile . Thank you.

My doctor is having me discontinue letrozole for the next four weeks to see if the muscle pain I have developed in my left leg and left buttock will go away. Long-term back pain is apparently pretty common with letrozole.

I have been on Letrozole for almost one year. Minimal joint pain first few weeks. Now I only experience warm flushes primarily after meals. I was very worried as I love w/chronic pain from spinal issues. In fact chose not to take Letrozole after 1st breast cancer in 2018. This time I started. Glad I did. Best if luck on your journey.
