Hi, I started Letrozole in December 2023 after surgery and radiotherapy. I'm having terrible problems with muscle and joint pain but can't take anti-inflammatory medication. Can anyone suggest anything. Thank you.

  • Hi   and a very warm welcome to the Community but sorry to hear about your ongoing challenges.

    Navigating the cancer journey can be such a stressful and challenging time but getting support from people who have walked the ‘exact same' cancer journey can help a lot. (I have a completely different cancer).

    The New to Community is like our reception desk where we look to direct you to the best part of the Community for you to get support. The Community is divided into dedicated Cancer Support Groups (Discussion Rooms) so can I recommend you join and post in our dedicated Breast Cancer support group. This is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.

    To connect in with the group click on this link Point down

    …… then once the group page opens click on “Click to Join” when the black banner appears or “Join” under “Group Tools” (this all depends on the device you are using)

    When you are ready you can introduce yourself by clicking “+new” or “+” in the top right next to the group title. You can copy and paste the text from this post into your new post.

    Do get back to me if you need further help navigating the community.

  • I’ve used Loratidine which is normally used for hay fever, it helps with my joint pain 

  • Hi when I started on Letrozole 4 years ago, I too had joint pain. I found switching brands worked. I now only have Accord Brand. Sun Pharma and Cipla were very bad for me. So might be worth asking to try another brand.  

    Stay Positive.
