Hi there,
I've been taking Letrozole since January 25th and have had the odd pain in my joints, then one week after finishing my radiotherapy in early March I got the most unbelievable and unexpected pain in my right thigh/hip area, I would have willing let my leg be cut off.
Since then I gave had many more day of this terrible pain, I can't even put socks on as I can't bend my leg, I've been to the Dr's and have Naproxen to rake it helps a bit but not much.
I keep going out for walks as I feel I need to keep moving, but sleeping is difficult with the pain too. I go back to my oncologist end of April.
Is this the Letrozole giving me these issues that I've never had before. Not sure I can deal with this for the next 5 years.
Any replies would be helpful.
