I changed to Exemestane after just over 3 miserable months on Anastrozole.
Exemestane, certainally over the first 3 months was much more tolerable. However I am now just over 5 months into treatment and I am finding the tiredness, stiffness and joint pain is increasing. Am I correct in my thinking that after 6 months, the side effects become gradually easier ?? I am hopeful that I am almost past the worst of the side effects
Also, I have the beginning of a trigger finger in my right hand and a trigger thumb in my left hand. The symptoms ease with use but I only need to rest for a short period for them to stiffen and stick again (evenings and overnight are the most difficult). My GP has offered to inject them, but if Exemestane is the cause, will the problem just come back or affect other fingers ??
