I had joint pains but started taking magnesium supplements 500 mg and they have helped. I also take calcium as a nurse told me these help. With diet I take 100 mg a day
Hi Jax, I've been on Letrozole for 2 years and my joints and my limbs still ache. Sometimes it's better then it worsens again. I was prescribed Duloxetine which is an antidepressant but also for neuropathic pain. It helped loads. I had to come off it though because of tinnitus which is a sde effect. I learned to take letrozole last thing at night and some people think a change in brand helps. Hope you find a way through it, its q brutal but drug but it helps keeps cancer at bay. Good luck xx
Jax007 pains and worse arthritis so a big yes for letrozole and also for exemestane (was changed to this, maybe slightly better). I am prescribed Adcal, so maybe ask your GP, it will save you some money. I have tried lots of supplements but none have helped. Good Luck xx
Annmw can I ask if the tinnitus went when you stopped taking Duloxetine? I have very bad pain in my feet which may be a leftover from neuropathy left over from chemo. I can barely walk at times, some may be increased joint and arthritic pain, and might ask my GP if I could try Duloxetine but only if I can be sure it is not going to add to my long-term problems.
Hi Jax, my tinnitus is congenital so it didn't stop, plus I've hearing loss as well. In addition Ive a fair amount of other stress which keeps tunnitis high. So it's difficult to say whether it reduced when I stopped the drug but it might be a question that ENT could answer via your GP. Despite the drug having worsening my tinnitus, I'm actually contemplating trying it again of the relief . But please do check with GP and ENT and good luck and best wishes xxx
