Hello everyone, I have recently changed from taking tamoxifen for the last 2 years with few SE experienced to the said Letrozole, this due to having ovaries removed earlier this year (found large cyst) and as advised from BC Consultant. Am now classed as post menopausal (aged 54). I had been warned letrozole may cause joint pain but I have leg pain from top to bottom, they sometimes go into spasms as well. Just had physio sessions for posterior tibial tendonitis, very painful foot, don’t know if there is a link. The results of my bone scan (which is done as routine when prescribed Letrozole), was not great for my age and now prescribed Adcal. I also have under active thyroid which in itself causes SE such as tiredness. I take blood pressure tablets too and clonidine for hot flushes. I am due a yearly health check in January which could put my mind at rest once had blood checks etc.
I am posting this today as I feel rubbish and feel I should go to my GP but don’t know where to start with explaining all these relatively ‘small’ symptoms I am experiencing. After all when you have had a lumpectomy, rads etc these SE are small things to cope with but they are seriously getting me down. I drive to work some mornings feeling so bad I end up crying! Should this be happening. Hoping to get some help from people experiencing similar symptoms and what they did to be able to carry on with the day to day routines.
