muscle soreness due to Anastrozole?

[DS431]

I changed my anastrazole dosing 3 days ago from daily to .25mg weekly and the muscle soreness has virtually disappeared, (a small amount still lingering, but it may for a while). I consulted my doctor about the sensitivity level of my E2 assay and requested a "ultra sensitive" E2 assay on 22 Dec, she concurred. I can adjust as needed upon receiving those results. Thank you so much for replying to my post.

Muscle soreness is one of a number of negative sides to suppressed estrogen serum levels.

.25 mg each night is way way too much!

That could be a weekly dose NOT daily.

I contacted my doctor requesting an "ultra sensitive" E2 assay and she said she'd change the type, so I'm assuming my previous assays were not sensitive. Thanks for the reply to my post.

To Gene's question: the estradiol was measured via the sensitive assay?

You are on the right track. All the best.
