can bone spur be caused by Arimidex or fosamax?

can bone spur be caused by Arimidex or fosamax?

Hi group,
I am asking this question for my friend who had stage 1 breast cancer and had a mastecotomy instead of a lumpectomy because she has lupus and couldn't do the radiation. Her question is she is taking Arimidex and Fosamax and has gotten arthritis in her hands and knee and now a bone spur in her shoulder joint. she wants to know if the bone spur could be caused by one of the drugs.
thank you,

One of the side effects listed for Arimidex is joint pain but I don't think the bone spur (if this has actually been diagnosed as her problem) would necessarily be related. The best source of information for your friend is her Oncologist.  Regards .....
