[QUOTE="RickB, post: 232744, member: 42882"] Everything I've found online for forever regarding AI's and joint pain basically says that it is [I]most likely [/I]due to low E2. I've been using Exemestane for a while now, and have basically been keeping my E2 at 40 and above, and I am having joint pain in a couple of areas. Being that my E2 is much, much higher than it was pre-trt, if Exemestane is the cause of my joint pain, it definitely is not due to my E2 level. Can anyone link any sources that hypothesize AI's causing joint pain through any other action than lowering E2? In fact, even if anyone can give me anecdotal info, I would appreciate it. (I know that many users will tell me to lower my T dose and drop the AI. However, if I lower my T dose, I am going to be sitting at the same free-T level I was at pre-trt. As madman knows, I took his advice and was tested using Equilibrium Ultrafiltration recently. Even though my free was sky high, as he said it would be, the number that started me on my trt journey a year-and-a-half ago was my direct assay free-T. So even though that number is underestimated, it is still relevant per the symptoms I had. Therefore, even though my [I]true [/I]free level is very high, I need it to be that high to alleviate my low-T symptoms...Not sure if any of that made sense, but I just wanted to put it in there before the chorus of "lower your dose" starts. Also, I did try daily dosing. It worked for managing E2 w/o AI and kept my free level good enough. However I grew very tired of daily IM, and I am not fully convinced about subQ, so I prefer to stay on an AI) [/QUOTE]
