Does metformin cause joint pain or could it be the femara (letrozole) i started taking in jan 2014?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Femara!!!: It is definitely the femara! almost half of women taking Femara get moderate to severe joint pain. Sometimes switching to a different aromatase inhibitor helps. Make sure your doctor knows you're having pain. If your vitamin d level is low, increasing it can improve the pain. But it's really a troublesome side effect, and i'm so sorry you have it. Ask your doc for relief so you stay on the drug!
