On faslodex several months. No similar side effects. Except for shots feel much better on it than in letrozole. Sorry you are having discomfort. Are you on anything else?

I was on letrozole for little less than a year. Some progression in size of some lesions. Added Ibrance. Last September again showed some progression in size, not number, of some lesions. Stopped letrozole and started faslodex. I do not have the joint pain I had with letrozole. It is very inconvenient for me to go once a month into the city, but I feel better. In Feb. my scans showed some regression, and I credit that to the faslodex.

I've been on it for 5 years. My knees do hurt. The best thing I've found for this is walking. That makes a huge difference.

Hi Barb I have mild knee discomfort ( but not nearly as bad as when I was on Letrozole) it can be very hard to know what medications cause what discomforts or if there is other medical issues.

Hi Barb I was wondering if your joint pain has improved ? And if so what seems to have worked for you

Hi Luann I have been using cbd oil and it helps tremendously with any kind of pain. I only buy from the dispensary I have my medical marijuana card the cbd in stores are not the same and I feel you don’t know what you are getting. Hope you feel better soon.

Do you use the oral drops or the ointment?

I actually started using a spray that you spray under your tongue and it’s flavored like grape or peppermint so much better tasting than the drops.
