Zoladex & Letrazole

Hi, good evening, im post BC cancer , chemo finished 2018, but im still struggling to settle, im finding joint pain horrific, its really effecting my mood, lifestyle and work, Ive been attending the Gym , but struggling to do much as its so severe, im at times walking like an old lady stiff and takes a fair bit momentum to get going. Im on zoladex and letrazole,  my question is, last few days the joint pain stiffness has escalated to almost unmanageable level, im wondering is it due to my next Zoladex being due next week(ive forgotted is this strength of pain mthly but think it is, ill make a note from next injection) of is it the letrazole causing the joints to be so stiff truly cant next 3,5,10yrs with this missery of a life ..whats peoples thoughts, ive mths til I see my oncologist and feel desperate..thanks for reading 

Also have to say tge trauma mtgly of recieving the Zoladex is awful, blood running from puncture area , badly bruised I feel.stressed and its a wkntil next jag .. how do you all manage the pain recieving zoladex
