Hi

I started on anastrozole a few weeks ago . I have back pain, leg pains and now struggling with pins and needles in my right arm and hand. And I feel sick.

Has anyone else had this and does it improve after taking the drug for a while ? I'm not sure how we are supposed to carry on with taking these drugs .

Xx

  • Hi I have finished my active treatment. I am on anastrazole now. How are you doing, thank you for your support xx

  • Hi jacala, how are you getting on with anastrazole. Just thought I would catch you with you and see how your getting on. Best wishes xx

  • Hi I'm actually doing ok. I'm into my fifth month of taking them and managing well on them.

    My side effects are feeling stiff if I sit too long, hot flushes, no sex drive. But all are nothing major, and I can cope with them.

    I was expecting to feel much worse on them. I did lose 11lb from April to August by healthy eating and regularly going to the gym but after going on holiday and starting back at work my weight has stalled somewhat. 

    How are you coping now?
