I started anastrozole after my chemo and unfortunately started getting pains and stiffness in my hands - the oncologist advised regular stretching and exercise and healthy foods. She also pointed out a study from Tokyo where women took a food supplement called Pomi-t. I now take it and my hands are much better but not sure about my hot flushes. The oncologist said it's safe because it does not affect oestrogen levels in my body
