Joint pain effect of Femara

I have been taking Femara for 3 1/2 months, before that 3 years Tamoxifen. I feel pretty depressed, powerless, no longer powerful, totally dull and impotent, muscle and joint pain, especially in the elbow, also stiffness in the hands and ankles when I only 10 min. I have sat, total rigidity of the skeleton, I feel like I’m 90 years old, I’m 50 years old. It can not be. That’s just for the pharmaceutical companies and their special doctors to make their pockets full.600, – € for a 3-month pack and that should take over 5 years – the only one who gets well are the aforementioned people. I tend to feel that if I am well I can stay healthy rather than feel so bad !!! WOMEN ARE CRITICAL !!!

I have been taking the hormone preparation FEMARA for a year now. The joint and muscle pain increase more and more from day to day. Constant headaches, diarrhea, nausea, hot flashes, then often I start to feel cold. I feel exhausted and broken. was sick for 3 weeks now. My doctor says, but I should take the drug despite all the side effects. Sometimes I think I stop, but then I feel remorse again and I keep on.

Frequent hot flashes, severe loss of libido, frequent nausea, joint pain especially in the morning. Mucosal dryness in the mouth and especially in the vagina, without lubricant GV not possible.

Initially, the side effects began with palpitations and sweats that have decreased significantly after a few weeks. On the other hand, the bones, joints and muscles are very fierce. Increases in liver function, fatigue, depressed mood, massive weight gain. Sleep through the night – under Femara – was once again, except for the urge to urinate one again and again out of bed. And under the daily morning stiffness of the joints, the accumulation of water in my hands and legs, I have the impression that Femara is aging at a tempo pace and makes one worry of waking up in the morning. The quality of life drops enormously!

Breast Cancer Diagnosis November 2003 Ablatio re. Side with simultaneous breast structure. 6 x chemo, then 3 years tamoxifen. Strong hot flashes + weight gain of 6 kg. In April 2007 then change to Femara. The hot flashes got better but I suffered from severe joint pain in the elbow joints + in the left knee. The finger joints began to crack. Strong water retention in legs + feet. Shortness of breath and inner restlessness. At times depressive moods u. Agression. Had the feeling of my personality to change totally to the detriment. Unbearable! After 13 months taking Femara, then in May after consultation with my gynecologist discontinued the funds. I’m not feeling well for a long time. The pain subsided, became weaker. Mentally, I’m great. The water retention still varies. At times a feeling of super-light legs. I am now taking off with the help of a dietician u. lost 7 kilos in 3 weeks. I am doing very well. My doctor told me it was much more important for me to reduce the weight than to take Femara’s 11 months. That would be purely for the statistics anyway. And for that I really do not have to torture myself for another 11 months.

I live well, exercise about 5-7 x / week sport (2 x swimming 1 1/2 hours, 5 x Cardiotrainer -30 min / daily) After taking tamoxifen (2 years) no complaints – apart from hot flashes Femara ingestion now a total of 3 years: after six weeks strong bones and joint pain (very painful handshake, always pain after getting up, for example, a chair, it takes up to a quarter of an hour, until the movement lock dissolves;), mild osteopenia, fibromyalgia-like complaints, (through Sport not controllable); After 2 years of osteopenia and the border with osteoporosis (despite sports!). Recurrent stubborn joint inflammation (currently elbow), thin, brittle hair; decreasing athletic efficiency! Hot flashes (approx. 5-20 x / day)

1. Significant problems with joint pain, knees and shoulders 2. Concentration disorders, word-finding problems. You sometimes say words that do not fit and you do not even want to say, or you use words from another language that you also know well 3. Memory problems, you often forget what you wanted. Recalling memories also slows down The side effects are simply brutal and diminish the quality of life! It is not possible to evaluate effectiveness.

Bone density decreases rapiere, joint pain such as knees and fingers to the back. Dry mucous membranes of the vagina

Side effects of tamoxifen: hot flashes nothing else. Effects of Femara: Hot flashes less than tamoxifen. Joint pain, dehydration of the mucous membranes, loss of libido, tachycardia, frequent urination. For 5 years I took Tamoxifen, since autumn 2007 I take Femara. For about 2 months I have muscle pain in the shoulder area and strong muscle pain in the right upper arm. My GP sent me to X-ray and told me to do a scan now. Can someone tell me how long I can and should take Femara and if I can not sell it?

Teething problems, fatigue, bone ache all over, joint damage in the knee and hip joint, severe tingling in the hands, stiffness all over the body, especially on the wrists, increased tear fluid, short-term memory worse, nausea, blurred vision, weight gain, and much more
