I've been taking Anastrozole for nearly five years and now have a swollen right arm and painful right elbow. My surgery was on the left side so don't think it's lymphedema. Wondered if anyone else had experienced swelling?
Hi there, I'm not an expert, but I don't know if a side effect to develop after so long. If it were me, I would go to the GP and get it checked out. Best wishes
