Does Arimidex Cause Joint Stiffness, Stuffy Head And Tingling Sensation In Fingers?

I am prescribed Arimidex and am experiencing joint stiffness, sporadic stuffy head and headache. When I wake I have a prickly feeling in my toes and fingertips. I am also taking an anti-seizure medication which also leaves me headachy and urinating more frequently (leading to loss of sleep) I am wondering if there is contraindication between these drugs as I m getting worse. I skipped a day on Arimidex 2x over a 3month period and felt much better on those days.
