Lower Back Pain And Hand Pain

I recently started taking Mirtazapine for depression. I started at 15 mg. and this was increased to 30 mg after about four weeks. I have started to suffer almost debilitating lower back pain on a daily basis which I do understand is a rare but potential side effect. In addition, my hands are slightly swollen and any repeated use of my hands/fingers also results in severe pain. The hand pain will subside after I stop whatever I was doing.
In addition, I sometimes lose feeling in my hands (almost like a lack of blood supply) and when I change their position, I experience "pins and needles".
Has anyone else had this combination of symptoms? Will they resolve themselves over time or should I have my Doctor switch me to something else?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

I have stopped mirtazapine altogether after experiencing excrutiating pain and coldness in my thighs. It got to the point of not actually being able to walk upright. Went back to 7.5mg but still painful. Only good thing about mirt for me was having warm feet after years of always having freezing feet but decided cold feet was better than pain in legs.
