Letrazole

Hi, I have been on letrazole for just over a year following lumpectomy and axillary node clearance. I seemed to be coping ok with the medication but just lately I have a lot of aches and pains in joints, bones and muscles. Could this be side affects from the letrozole?

  • Hi Jacquig

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    There is another new member here posting on a similar subject to you. Also, if you look at the thread, you will see I've linked them to another person who is posting on their experience of Letrazole.

    If you respond to their posts perhaps you can all link up.

    Best wishes

  • Hi

    I have been on arimadex, then tamoxifen and have now been on Letrazole for a year and all of these have given me joint and muscle pain.  I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia last year and have seen a physio and am doing exercises to improve my muscle tone to help support my ligaments which hopefully will ease the pain.  Not sure whether I will still have it and I am fighting a losing battle but one has to try.

  • I have just started on Letrazole two weeks ago and I noticed on the leafket it said one of the side effects was osteoarthritis.
