I also am experiencing severe joint pain, bone pain, numbness and tingling in hand, hand joints throbbing, and a rash on many areas of my body. After I stand up from sitting a while, I can't seem to walk well. It takes a while to stop shuffle walking and stooped over to correct posture and normal steps.

6 years ago I started tamoxifen, after the first 2 years I could barely walk, the joint pain was awful, even had to sell my stick shift car. Finished the 5 years with aremidex.

I have been on Letrozole for approx 2 3/4 yrs with varying side effects (depending on lot number), but the constant side effect has been the destruction of my joints, connective tissue, and mobility! A recent bone scan has indicated the same. It's progressively worse

I started taking this medicine in June. I am currently experiencing most of the unpleasant side effects. Worst being joint aches, fatigue, hot flashes, mood swings and hair thinning. Thankfully, I am not gaining weight. Without yoga and acupuncture, I do not know if I could tolerate this medicine. Good luck to anyone out there taking it!

I have been taking this for 2 years now and everything was good until lately. I have a lot of the same things going on as the others. Mostly muscle soreness, joints, tired, trigger finger on both hands, hard to walk when I first stand up until my legs relax. I will continue to take it because I don't want my cancer to come back.
