I had this on letrozole and had a 6 week break and swapped to Exemestane. The pain is still there. I also had some neck pain and had an MRI and it was two bulging discs a consequence of getting a bit older and need pain killers to keep at bay. I have had some hip pain over the years and wonder if my treatment has just exacerbated it. But then it could be spread as I’m HER2+ which can spread to the bones.
I’m debating now whether I should mention the hip pain, like you it affects my day and sleep. I had read that some cancer treatments can trigger immune diseases such as polymyagia rheumaticawhich affects hips, shoulders and neck.
I believe it’s a blood test to check so I think I will ask for that aswell when I speak to my oncologist this week.
It’s all such a worry, maybe cal, your breast care nurse and chat it through. You can call the BCN nurses on 08088006000 to chat about it.
