Brief Answer:
hello dear. please avoid cannabis

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. We do not advise cannabis for pain. Moreover, as arimidex is a hormonal agent, it can have serious interctions with cannabis.
Arimidex is known to cause arthritis
I will suggest you to take pain killers like diclofenac or tramadol which are safe.
If that doesnot work then, change to another hormone agent, letrozole is advised
Thanks and regards
