I have read a few posts about Letrozole and its side effects, I just wondered if anyone has had pain in the groin area. The aches and pains have been getting worse week by week. I started letrozole in December. Im reasonably active despite the stiffness but everything is becoming a struggle, my ankles and knees feel stiff and sore. I sometimes have a sore back but this is intermittent but today to add to the list of woes my grain is sore. Iv hardly been able to move . I do think a lot about secondaries but on the whole try not to scare myself. If achy groin is part of letrozole then thats ok but its not something im aware of. TIA x
Hi This is really strange because I started on Letrozole in January and have been experiencing general aches and pains but for the last couple of days my groin has been painful and it feels like it going to give way then my leg is going to drop off when I try to walk. It's not an ache but a sharp pain when I try to move. I didn't associate it with the Letrozole until now. I hope it clears up soon because I can't walk like this and I need to exercise.
Hi. I've had this from time to time in my groin. My pains seem to move around. One day its my arm, the next my hips, then my shoulders and so on. I also find if i stay in the same position for too long i seize up which isn't great if i actually get a good night's sleep. I've just found you can hurt anywhere. When i told the consultant they didn't seem concerned but i do worry too! Sometimes it's a dull ache and others horrible pains. I feel like i live on paracetamol.
