I have been on letrozole for 7 months I have quit taking it due to the increased pain in my osteoarthritis, doctors tend to just ignore it and say it’s part of the process does anyone have any idea if the pain subsides after stopping letrozole?
Hi Deecamp. So Sorry to hear about your pain. I developed arthritis in both of my shoulders after 5 m9nths of letrozole and was extremely down. I stopped taking it at the end of october and I feel much better but my shoulders are still the same up to now. I am hoping they will improve with continued physio. I hope you feel better soon too xx
Thank you for your response, I hope your pain goes away soon.
This is what worries me about starting AIs in a week or so. People say that you might as well try because you might not have the side effects and others say they stop when you stop taking the AIs but I’m still badly affected by the Taxol 3 months later and I’m just not sure about risking it.
Hope you feel better soon.
