Exemestane Side Effects
UpdatedI have been taking Exemestane for 2-1/2 months. My hands are numb and also tingling. The pain with the tingling is so bad. It lasts about two minutes and then just feels numb. Also have hip/lower back pain. Called my doc about the hands and she said go off Exemestne for two weeks and see if it goes away. She thinks I have carpal tunnel. I was on Tamoxifan for one year but changed due to horrible leg cramps. Then put on Anastrozole and stopped after two weeks due to body rash. Now I truly believe I am having reaction to Exemestane.

Hello, Cc! How are you? I'm very sorry about your health problem and the issues you've been having with the medications.
Cancer medications are notorious for causing side effects and most of them do make people miserable.
However, the numbness isn't reported as a common side effect of Exemestane, but the tingling and pain are known to be caused by it. You may also experience hot flushes, loss of appetite and insomnia.
So, you may have carpal tunnel, or a combination of both. The only way to find out is by following you doctor's instructions and stopping it for awhile.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
