Hi, as usual I am up against another problem and turn here for help and support.

I have been on anastrozole for 8 months with various side effects to get used to.

I have a new one started in early December very painful feet. I feel I have run a marathon, my feet are so painful.

I have a dog and walk a lot this side effect is worrying me, should I try and continue to walk thru the pain? Should I just put my feet up and wait for it to pass. And hope it does, not really a viable option!

Any advice please

Warm regards

Helen

Hi Helen

I would contract my oncology team and see what they can suggest for the pain in your feet.

Hope your feet improve soon.

Best wishes

Hi Helen

I'm also on anastrozole (only 6 weeks in) which is why I looked at your post. Are you sure it's a side effect? Just wondering if it's plantar fasciitis which I had about a year ago and sounds similar. In the end I got rid of it by changing the shoes I wore most of the time. This was before I was on anastrozole.

Hope you are able to find a resolution soon x

Hi I’m on Anastrozole & the joint ache started after a month. I think it’s quite common. It’s mainly my knees & hands but comes and goes in my feet. Im trying Glucosamine sulphate supplement to see if this helps. I checked with my breast cancer nurse first. Only been taking a few weeks … not noted it easing yet.
