CommunitiesHER2+So today I saw a woman on facebook talking about going thru cancer with hers2 and taking a pill the doctor said would keep the cancer from coming back and she went on to say how taking the pill was killing her joints. Then in the comments some women were saying they take Anastrozol which I am taking now for like 18 months or so. I have noticed some joint pain but thought it was my age 70. They were trying to get you to by tart cherry pills. I am wondering has anyone had joint pain also from that pill.

Joint pain is a commonly reported side effect with hormone therapy medications like anastrozole, and many patients in the community share similar experiences regardless of age. It's always worth discussing any new or worsening symptoms with your medical team to help determine the best approach for managing side effects while staying on your prescribed treatment plan.
