Suggest Treatment For Joint Pain In The Hips And Knees
I m 75 y/o, post mastectomy done 4/3//17. Taking letrozole 2.5 mg. per day. Experiencing a lot of joint pain (hips and knees), night sweats and constipation. I am very active - mountain hiking 1x/wk, gym 3-4 x/wk, and thought pain was from over doing. But after a few days rest - pain is worse than every. Suggestions?

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
