Hi Debbie: First, read our FAQS on aromatase inhibitors, including Arimidex. That'll give you a good overview. I can tell you that the most common side effects are loss of bone density, and aching joints. The bone density should be tracked; I'm sure your oncologist will fill you in on this. Many women get away without the aches; I hope you're one of the lucky ones. Write back if you have any more quesiotns - good luck. - PJH
