Hello, I've been on anastrazole for a year now. I did suffer with some arthritis in my knees before, but that has gradually got much worse and also ankles, wrists, thumbs and big toes are affected now too.
Incidentally I have been taking glucosamine, omegs 3 and garlic tablets for years. not sure they do any good, but I daren't stop - at least they don't do any harm. I don't think pain killers help much, but with regards to paracetomol and ibuprofen, I heard a radio 4 programme the other day, saying that the combination was more effective for head aches than either on their own, so I'm trying that. My hobbies are dancing and walking and I'm determined to carry on despite the pain.
I, too, am only weakly Er+, so my oncologist said we would see how we go. Difficult to stop taking it though. Interested to hear how anyone who has a break from it gets on.
Best wishes to all.
