Hiya everyone im having a real bad day with aches and pains today i been taking letrozol for about three and half weeks now also finished my radiotherapy around the same time
but im having aches in shoulders headaches knee pain also im on the change too so just wondering if anyone else is having the same problems
Bless you! I think a lot of us know where your coming from. I'm on been taking since December and had the same experience, now taking evening primerose and star flower tablets which has easied the aches, so maybe worth a try.
wishing you all the best.
Thankyou I have an appointment on the 5th of April so there’s lots of questions I want to as my oncologist so maybe I get answers of her then thankyou too take care too x
I’ve been on letrozole since December and feel like a very old lady!! Can’t bend one knee, pain behind it is excruciating, shoulders and arms ache, and legs feel like lead. Fortunately having a dog forces me to walk regularly and that has really helped but getting off the sofa after a night watching tv is painful! My eyesight has worsened but is not blurry (as shown in the after effects within the packet). Got app with ophthalmologist next week. Oncologist told me to persevere as all symptoms should reduce in time..I’m def going to whinge again in 2 months if I still feel rough! Best wishes to all out there who struggle with the long term meds! XxX
Sounds like a plan! Will look into that xx
My oncologist is fab she’s a lady and she’s brilliant with me all though my journey
Sorry you got fobbed off but I hope your doing ok though x
