Arimidex - bone pain/recurrence
I've been on Arimidex for almost two months. Prior to this, I had a "normal" bone density test for my age (37). For those currently on Arimidex - when did bone pain start? Does it ever subside? Am I the the only one who fears recurrence even though my last radiation treatment is tomorrow? Am I being too paranoid about recurrence due to bone pain? Or is it just the beginnings of arthritis? I see many on here with similar histories, and unfortunately see people with recurrences long after treatment for a hormone-driven cancer. 😕

You could switch to maybe exmestane or letrozole. I had pain and I tried to tough it out it got so bad one morning I couldn't get out of bed. I was only 53 and a very active person my doctor yelled at me for letting the pain get that bad.

I had bone and muscle pain within a day of starting arimidex. It never went away. Had to stop it for a different complication. Now on Letrazole and pain is just as bad.
