I had a lumpectomy 4 years ago followed by radiotherapy and a series of hormone tablets which all had side effects. Letrozole caused mobility problems, then tamoxifen causing gynae problems, then exomestane caused breast pain and now anastrozole which I thought was going to be fine. I started taking this about 6 months ago. I have started to get very swollen ankles and feet which are worse when I sit down in an evening. I have seen the GP and had blood tests to check my heart and kidneys which have come back normal. I do want to continue with the anastrozole but need to get the swellings down. The GP mentioned support stockings which I had after an operation and found them very uncomfortable.  Is there anything I can do to get back to normal
