period pains on letrozole

I've been on letrozole since May 2020 and over the last couple of weeks my joints have got really stiff, so my oncologist has told me to stop immediately and he will move me to tamoxifen after allowing the letrozole to leave my body for 4 weeks.

 

It's only been 3 days since stopping, but I have period pain type symptons, with pain and pressure on wanting to go for a poo and now I'm quite emotional as well.

 

Has anyone had similar symptoms

  • Welcome to the forum Mewreviews although I'm sorry about the symptoms you've started to experience since stopping Letrozole.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been through similar will offer their tips and advice on how to manage this soon but if you'd like to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope things start to improve soon and you have less joint pain with Tamoxifen.

    All the best,
