Arimidex
I am sorry you are having this burning sensation. I have been on arimidex for over a year an I have never had stomach burning. I do have tingling in my hands, legs, and back sometimes. My bones hurt all the time. hot flashes, can't sleep, stiffness, numbness and swelling in my leg, but it went down after I started exercising. The hot flashes are horrible!!!

Hi wallis2, I've reoccurng breast cancer second time. I suffered from bad sleep too, wake up every 2 hours or less from Arimidex. Only my right thumb wrist hurts, no other bone pains. And I do get hot flashes, it comes so unexpectedly ! My whole forehead, and chest is dripping with sweat. It's crazy!! I took Tamoxifen before and had no problem. This time my oncologist switched me Arimdex for postmenopausal women. The stomach burn is so burn. She agreed for me to stop for 2 weeks, and will have to take Femara next week. The stomach burn have lessened in this past week. I'm going to get an endoscopy to see what's causing the burning, I guess I'll have to find out if it's my stomach/intestinal issues or if the ARimidex is the root of my burn. And I have to see if Femara will have similar side effects.
