Comment:
I have noticed general body aches. Arthritic in nature. As I do have arthritis in my spine and some fingers, I feel that the Faslodex has exsaserbated this problem, but I am alive and will cope with these problems gladley.It does not realy hinder my quality of life.I tolerate the injection
well.It is helpful to know others have experienced my symptoms.

After Femara and Aromasin which left me confused and forgetful.This seemed to be the perfect drug until the Joint pain became so bad I couldn't function. I will not be continuing hoping to find something else that will work.

Comment:
matastatic bone cancer/ breast cancer stage 3b estrogen receptor positive. tumors on spine and left rib cage. had radiation on spine and ribs and helped very much. lidoderm patches have helped with rib pain and migraine headaches that occur after treatments. joint pain and hot flashes are helped with the use of aspirin.
