Hello
I was switched from Tamoxifen to Anastrozole in January.
I am finding I am having problems with my joints (mainly my ankles) but knees now seem to be hurting too. When I get up in the mornings that is the worse time or if I have been sitting for any length of time, (they are so so stiff and painful I can hardly walk) it does seem to be getting worse. I am only just 50 and did consider myself very active.
I used to enjoy jogging but it is just too painful to do now. I am still walking but some days it is very painful.
I also have the Zolodex implant injections (have had 3 now). So not sure if that is making things worse or if it is the Anastrozole on it’s own.
Can anyone please give me some advice on what to do or would a different brand of Anastrazole help with the joint pain (currently I take Teva) or a different type of inhibitor? I just feel like I’ve gone from a really active person to an old lady!
I have been told that I am on this for the next 8 years!
TIA.
MM
