Going from Aromasin to Arimidex on 200 mg/ wk

I had not heard low estrogen causes gout? I thought potential liver problems could cause that? I am on 1 mg armidex per week taking 200 mg test cyponate per week.

yeah on hrt that is a big dose. even on cycle 25-0.5mg eod is enough for most, but on hrt doses that would eb too much AI for most. I feel dex is stronger than stane from my exp. i also love letro also but its VERY strong so i norm rec dex

So, what is the cause for the joint pain ppl complain associated with low estrogen?

Just trying to understand it, I have not find any other explanation for it. Estrogen has a protective effect against urate crystals, premenopausal females are virtually gout free.
Estrogen has no effect on synovial fluid, and other joint pains (that I know of) are all associated with wear and tear which doesnt explain this low estrogen joint pain.

And liver problems are not the cause of gout.

You might want to split that 1mg in 2x0,5mg/week
