I had a total knee replacement in april 2021. I had nothing but problems and was found to be allergic to the metal replacement. 1 week before my surgery to remove it.I found the breast cancer. Now I am at agonizing with me pain. I cannot have the knee replacement surgery revision unless I come off the Verzenio to keep my white blood count.Add a reasonable level to avoid infection. I am on narcotic pain medication.As I also have pain from the Letrozole. Yes?
Anyone else on strong pain medication for their body aches in pains?

Hi @beyond , I’m sorry you are suffering .Is your time on Verzenio time limited or are having having it as a long-term treatment ?
I will be on Versenio for 2 years…and Lettie for 10… With God’s grace. As the Verzenio lowers my WBC…I must wait to be done before I can revise my knee replacement…It took awhile to discover the problems is a metal allergy…not too happy my surgeon never suspected it…I had to do my own homework…Thank you for your compassionate.

Sounds miserable . I have a friend who urgently needs a knee replacement revision and she’s in agony .I have a condition that affects my bones and causes stress fractures and had lots of orthopaedic surgeries, I take dihydracodeine which does take the edge off the bone pain . I hope you get some relief soon .
