Hi everyone, I have been on Aromasin for 4 months now and I wondered how other people find it. I have bone mets to the hips, ribs and spine. I get the usual hot flushes but these aren’t too bad. I get stiff finger and toe joints in the morning, but these loosen up once I am up and about.
I also get some discomfort in my hip and shoulder joints. I wouldn’t call it pain but it is sensitive and if I press in certain areas it can be painful. Does anyone else recognise these symptoms? The hip and shoulder issues seem to be worse at the moment. I am due my Zometa in 3 weeks (8 weekly treatment) so wondered if that is an another reason why my hips are playing up?
Just a general question, how long does it take for AIs to become effective? Also is it common for them not to work? (I am 100% ER receptive)
I am still learning to trust the medication!!
