I have been on Aromasin now for seven months. I have knee pain, swollen tingly feet and blood pressure has increased. Stiff fingers and cannot wears my rings.I am ging to try some of the suggestions from others to help with the stiff knees. I would like to know who has had stiff knees while on aromasin and did this go away after they were done taking the meds. Did it cause damage?  I an thankful there are drugs available to us but will feel better if I know all these symptoms will disappear after my two years on this drug. I feel my body has aged so much in such a short time. Hope symptoms do not increase over time as I have lots of traveling to do!!

Hi!  I live in Britain, and we seem to suffer from same side effects.  Here, National Health Service doctors are too busy to give us more than 11 minute appointments, so 60% of us come off drugs - hence we have poor post cancer survival rates.

Being lucky enough to have some treatment in France, where their survival rates are some of best in world, I started a website www.after-cancer.com

So it might help some of you who have side effects - hope so.  Incidentally I was on Arimidex before Aromasin, and one result was carpal tunnel syndrome (I think someone on this post called it tendonitis?) which is now a recognised side effect.
