Aromtase inhibitors eg exemestane and feet problems

Hi Rozalia , I’m on Anastrozole and I do get joint pain, mainly in my feet. But it’s not severe and walking actually helps. It doesn’t stop me doing anything really, it’s just unpleasant. It’s worse in my right foot and my podiatrist says I have very limited mobility in my big toe. That foot also sometimes cramps, painful but does resolve. I didn’t have any arthritis type issues before so maybe that’s why it’s affected me less. Sorry you are having such pain, I do think the effects of hormone blockers are underplayed. But I’ll keep popping the pills as I’m hoping that they are keeping the beast at bay! Would it be worth discussing trying a different hormone treatment? Love and hugs, HFxx

Thank you x

Hi… I’ve been in Zoladex and Exemestane since Christmas and I get terrible pain in my hands and feet. I hobble when I get up in the morning and now wear wrist supports a lot of the time. My latest SE is trigger toe in my left big toe! I’m only 45 and feel like an old lady!! 
I’m really hoping that things settle down. I head that SE peak from around 2 months xxx
