If you are being treated for breast cancer with Aromatase inhibitors like Anastrozole or Letrozole, you may experience joint pain or stiffness. This is known as "aromatase inhibitor-associated arthralgia," and it is a common side effect. While these medications play a crucial role in reducing the risk of cancer recurrence, the discomfort can affect quality of life, making it important to understand why it happens and how to manage it effectively.

The relationship between irritable bowel syndrome and musculoskeletal pain is increasingly recognized, as many patients with irritable bowel syndrome experience chronic pain not only in the gastrointestinal system but also in the musculoskeletal system.

A meniscus tear is one of the most common knee injuries, especially among athletes and active individuals. The meniscus is a crescent-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint, providing a smooth surface for the femur and tibia to move against each other. Damage to the meniscus can cause significant discomfort and limit mobility.

A Baker's cyst, also known as a popliteal cyst, is an accumulation of synovial fluid—the lubricating fluid found in joints—that forms a pocket behind the knee, in an area called the popliteal fossa. The cyst is not a true cyst but rather an extension of the knee joint capsule. When pressure builds within the knee joint, fluid can be pushed out into the back of the knee, creating a swelling that can range in size.
