Anastrozole knee pain

Hi, I take letrozole and suffer from joint pain but my oncologist is not concerned. I always think it’s good to get things checked out if you’re worried.best wishes 

Hello, i have been on Anastrozole for 2.5 years.  My knee joints and fingers are particularly painful.  Have mentioned it to my oncologist and her response is always, 'I'm afraid that is a side effect'! 

Hi Whisper, I am the same. The knee pain is constant. I have read that Claritin might help. I have an oncology appointment in July and will discuss this with my Oncologist. 

Thank you I will try Caritin I have put a knee support on and this does help a little. 

Thanks

Thank you

Oh wow, that's explains why I've got painful knees and fingers. I never realised medication could be the cause.

Hi, I was on this drug for seven years and I noticed a big difference in side efects between different manufacturers of the drug. I had crippling knee pain when using the generic drugs. I finally started paying for the branded drug and my side effects improved a lot! I mentioned it to my oncologist and she said she had heard this from other patients also. Not sure if this helps…

Hello, could you please tell me the brand name that you found gave the least side effects? Many thanks 

I'm on a holiday from anastrozol and just realized as I got up that my knees are not so bad. Not pain free, I'm not expecting that, but not so bad. My hands area huge issue. With two fingers and my thumb triggering. Even simple tasks like fastening my jeans become impossible at times.

Volterol does help both knees and hands. Pregabalin, prescribed originally  for nerve pain helps me sleep. You can get volterol on prescription because it is expensive.

I'm not looking forward to the end of my holiday.
