anastrozole side effects

[amicedrot]

so apparently im one of the ones who gets severe joint pain with anastrozole. my dr recommended 1 mg every other day to keep aromatization in check. but at this dose my elbows and knees become unbearably painful. while i will be talking to him about alternatives, can anyone who has had this happen tell me what they did to resolve it? did you try exemestane or tamoxifen? or did you work on managing the symptoms and continue to use anastrozole?

You're getting sore joints most likely because your estrogen is crashed, not necessarily from the anastrozole, duh, your dr is a dumb ass prescrbing that much ,

Crashed E is miserable. Use AI as minimally as possible, and only if you actually need. Blanket dosing protocols are a wrecking ball in most.
