Anastrozole side effects?

Hi all,

I was put on Anastrozole in July after a mastectomy for DCIS.  Until recently, the only side effects had been hot flushes and fatigue, but in the last week or so I have been experiencing hip pain to the point that I’m struggling to do things like get in and out of my car.  Wondering whether I should put this down to a delayed side effect?

Hi @HelenHistorian , I’m sorry you’re experiencing hip pain. I found this page about anastrazole which may be helpful - around half way down you’ll find a link to a page dedicated to side effects.

If you ever wished to chat to our team of breast care nurses, we’re a phone call away (on freephone 0808 800 6000), or you can send them a question without leaving the forum by posting in these boards.

Sending our warmest wishes

Bernard
