Hi, small matter really but I’ve read there’s a possibility you can get ankle pain after being on HT around the 6 months mark. I’ve reached that point and I’ve started getting a pain in my left ankle when I put weight on it. Its ok when rested and it goes off mostly when I walk. It could be arthritis I suppose but has anyone else experienced this.
Cheers
Gra
Hello Gra,
I've been on HT just over 2 years and am now on it indefinitely (after also being on it for about 18 months in 2016/17). Joint pain can be one of the side effects and I have intermittent pains in wrists, knee and sometimes other random joints.
It's probably what's causing your problem is, although it would be wise to ask your treatment team or your GP for professional medical advice. They might also be able to give you something for it if it's persistent and / or affecting your lifestyle.
All the best, Derek.
