Joint pain on letrozole

Hi everyone! Can anyone out there suggest anything I can do to help cope with the horrendous joint pain I have been suffering since starting on letrozole last October? It started in my wrists but spread quite quickly and now I ache all over. My wrists are so painful tonight I can't sleep. I am already on enough painkillers to fell an elephant because of a pre existing spinal injury so need an alternative solution. I'd be grateful for any tips or tricks out there. Has anyone tried anti histamines? Glucosamine? Help please, x

  • Hi Moggy,

    im sorry to hear you're having joint pain, especially with everything that you've gone through.

    I had joint pain and my GP prescribed naproxen and you can take it with paracetamol if needed.


    Take care x

     

    Kind regards,

  • Hi Mary Ann, thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I already take the maximum dose of pregabalin for my pain from a spinal injury so as I am already taking additional tramadol on top I can't take any more prescribed drugs. I was wondering if anyone had any alternative remedy I could try. I've already asked about a referral for acupuncture but it's not available in my area which is a shame as it used to be and I had a good result from it for neck pain. NHS cutbacks are happening everywhere I guess. I did try CBD oil but had no effect from it except diarrhoea which I certainly didn't want!! I'm glad that you have pain relief that works for you. I will carry on trying to find something for myself. Wishing you well, Mog, xx

  • Hi, 

     

    apologies, if you want a homeopathic medicine then I strongly recommend arnica; ointments,creams and gels are sold online at a reasonable price. For as long as I can remember my family has used arnica cream for joint pain, muscle aches and bruises. It's worked for them and I hope it works for you, It's worth a try anyways. I hope it gets better  x

  • Thank you for the suggestion. I'll try anything. I think I have some arnica gel somewhere. Hope things are OK with you, Mog, xx
