10 months agoWhat do you do for joint pain? I’ve been on letrozole about 4 months now and I feel worse than ever. It feels like I aged about 30 years
Accepted Answer
Letrozole-related joint pain is a common concern among patients taking this hormone therapy, and it can significantly impact daily activities. Many community members find relief through gentle exercises like swimming or yoga, warm baths, and discussing pain management options with their healthcare team. Consider reaching out to your oncologist about strategies that might help, as they may suggest adjusting your treatment plan or adding supportive therapies to improve your quality of life.
