Hi,
I really hope someone on here might be able to help!
I had to have a hysterectomy in Jan 2025 which put me straight into a surgical menopause. I was prescribed HRT.
In May 2025 I was diagnosed with Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma which was HER2 negative but estrogen positive. I was therefore told to come off of HRT.
I started on Letrozole in May and underwent surgery/treatment in Oct. I started to get really painful muscles and joints within a few weeks. I was told it could be the Letrozole but to keep on them as symptoms may fade.
In Jan 2026 they started me on Exemestane to see if this would help.
Unfortunately I am still on a lot of pain and I cannot seem to find a solution. I take so many vitamins including collagen, all of which I hoped may help, but no! I am therefore assuming my pain is the menopause?
I walk everyday and stretch.
I am now taking co-codamol at bedtime to help the pain and help me get some sleep but I hate taking tablets and this isn’t a long term solution.
So, in a very long garbled way, I am wondering if anyone else has gone through this and has found a solution?!
