Very painful. I began having foot pain after starting Femara. ( My first drugs were Arimidex and Aromisin which I could not tolerate.) I also experienced bone and joint pain, but it is now much better. I take Fosamax (35 mg) and Calcium with Vit D. I feel the Femara may be contributing to my foot pain and the neuromas. I have hot flashes, but the rest of the time, I have extremely cold hands and feet. I have lost weight, not gained, with this medication. I am stopping the Femara for the next 6 to 8 weeks. I feel I am low risk for cancer to return and that I can test my theory. Any opinions about the neuromas and Femara? I have been diagnosed with neuromas in both feet. Very painful.
