    @nancybur - Welcome to the community! We have this article on the side effects of Anastrozole (Arimidex): What to Expect, Side Effects, and More that might be helpful as you wait for other member's advice and own experiences with this medicine. Side effects can be so frustrating to navigate, but you’re not alone. If you would like to share more about what you are going through, this community is here to help.

    Best,

    when I began anastrazole I had a fair amount of joint pain, only in my hips and knees. It gradually subsided over about 6 months. The biggest side effect I have had is the hot flashes. I have been on the med for about 18 months and still have ongoing hot flashes.

    I took anastrosole for 5 years with no side effects at all. Wishing the same for you
