  • It seems an unusual side effect, always worth checking I think. X

  • Hi, I too had lumpectomy in April last year and put on Letrozole.  I had a lot of joint/muscle pain and swelling in right ankle, foot and arm.  Oncologist changed my meds to Anastrazole which helped tremendously but not the swelling.   During summer last year my foot swelled so bad I couldn't get any footwear on.
