Hello Angie. Yes I got anxious when the time came and I also thought it would be more painful because my breast was still a little tender but it was no worse than normal and I only waited 1 week for the result from the bcn. Hope you are feeling well with your treatment Tc Lyn xx

Thank you both so much for your replies. I had the other two brands at first but have been given accord for the last 8 months or so. I do ache a little in my joints and sometimes hard to know where the ache comes from but would say more of an ache than a pain. I suppose before the cancer diagnoses I would have just thought getting a bit older aches and pains normal but we panic at every pain now. Think I will just see how it goes for a couple of weeks and then if the worries don't go away will ring Bcn. I have just had my first mamagram result which was all fine so that was good news. Hope things improve for you both Lyn xx

Hi All I have been taking anastrozole for 1 year now. I have had the usual aches when getting up after sitting for a while but recently I have developed a pain at the top of my leg near my hip that feels more like a pain from a bone. It does say that bone pain is a side effect of the drug so do i just except this is what it is or should I see the GP or discuss with Breast care nurse. I had a lumpectomy with no further spread. Has anyone else had bone pain.

Hi Lynda27. I have been taking Anastrozole since Sept last year, I have had no hair loss and although I have had some joint point it has not stopped me doing all the things I normally do. My BC nurse advices me to take painkillers if needed but otherwise carry on. Hope this is helpful

I am getting really dry eyes I have been on anastrozole for about 5 month now. I am really struggling with wearing my contacts and the last few days have a pulsating on my upper lid which is very annoying. Does anyone else have this problem.

Thank you so much Katy for your advice. I will try the gel and if I need too will see the doc for help with pain in the night. I do have a memory foam mattress and i would also recommend this for the comfort and the warmth on the painful areas. Take Care

Thanks Ali-been sorry you are suffering as well. What painkillers do you take I find paracetamol do not help much and I cannot take anti inflammatory. Yes here's hoping we get some tips I am sure there will be lots of ladies on here that will help. Take Care.

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.
