Hello everyone, this is my first post on this very supportive forum although I have been reading the advice since my diagnosis in July 13. I have been taking Anastrozole since the middle of August straight after my surgery and thought I was getting away with side effects because I have felt fine until about 3 weeks ago when I started getting a little achy around the knees bottom of my back and my hips. It can be painful when doing the things I really enjoy like walking and dancing. I will also be cycling when the spring comes and I worry that this will be painful too. It does seem to be getting worse. Also I am not sleeping well because of pins and needles in both arms and hands which wake me all the time. Can anyone give me any reassurance that these side effects will get better or do I just have to live with them. Can I say a big thank you to all the ladies that answer these posts you have all helped me so much to be positive about this cancer journey.
