LETROZOLE SWOLLEN AND NUMBNESS

Dear all,

 

I’ve been on Letrozole for about a year now. I have been experiencing a slight numbness and tickling on the toes, as well as a bit of swollen around the calf area of my leg. I’ve been to my GP today, she conducted a physical examination and said that it was normal but, bcs of my clinical history of BC she would want to rule out bone mets and has order a MRI scan and blood test.

 

I am now getting worried, I thought this was just probably something related to the circulation, perhaps DVT or something like that, maybe a side effect to Letrozole, but bone mets were, for once the last thing on my mind. I was wondering if any one has got similar symptoms while on Letrozole
