This was followed by 3 months on arimidex. I worked the entire time I took chemo, but when the chemo stopped, and the steroids stopped I hit bottom. I have constant bone pain, deep in the bones of hips, legs, feet and back. This pain is worse in my hips and back. The Dr. who treated me says he has had no one complain of bone pain with these drugs. Do you have any post-cancer patients who complain of this? My family Dr. says he has not had the experience of too many post-cancer patients. I take tramadol, but nothing seems to help and I am never pain free. Any suggestions? Thanks!...answer
