I have lots of joint and muscle pain that seem to be associated with the drug.

I don't really have any major problems with it I just hope it works in the long run.

I have been taking Femara for about 1 year. I can't really blame my extreme hot flashes on the medication but what I have noticed is the muscle/tendon pain. I have been treated for a trigger finger twice which is apparently a common complaint. I now am seeking treatment for carpal tunnel and tendonitis in my hands. I guess it's a small price to pay to stay cancer free.

I have just recently been switched from Femara to Letrozole (I am certain cost was a major factor in this decision). This is just the first month I am on Letrozole so it is really too early to tell the outcome.
