Well they where not cramps ( tamoxifen gives them), they happened late at night like 3 or 4 am, maybe because the tylenol I took before going to bed was weening off, they felt like strong stabbing in the lower part of the legs, from the knees to the anckles. They woke me up and I couldn't go back to sleep. Femara seems to do the same thing but not as strongly, very mild in comparison, hope you resolve your problem,
WOW Elga, thats exactly what I have...from the knee to the ankle even my feet hurt!
Sometimes I wonder if this is all worth it!! I sure hope my body can adjust once I am off this med!
wishing you well too,

Well cjmmom for me one month and 1/2 or Arimidex was all I could take on account of those leg pains. Can I ask you why you stopped Aromasin?
With Femara, now on my 7th week, leg pains are tolerable, just noticable, nothing like Arimidex, hope that does not change. Maybe you could switch to Femara and see if like me they go away. Have a nice day,
Guess what? I stopped aromasin because of.....leg pains!!
I have been on arimidex for about 2months and the last three days...my legs are really hurting me again, especially in the evening..Can I ask you, what time of the day you take your femara? I was taking the aromasin in the evening but then the insomnia was really bad, so when I switched I have been taking arimidex in the morning, I was doing ok with that until the leg pains started again..thinking now I should go back to the evenings..
I just dont know what to do anymore..I really think that I will just have to learn to live with it..do you exercise? I go to the gym 6days a week, I think if I didnt I would feel as though I was 100 yrs old!!
hope you have a good night!

ooops I wanted to ask you how the dizziness was now?
I have had a few dizzy spells too, one the other day..I couldnt focus my eyes at all, everything was spinning..but it doesnt happen that often..
Hope yours has gotten better!
