Omeprazole Tied To Knee Pain?

Updated

Have been taking omeprazole 20 mg BID for about four months. Experiencing debilitating knee joint pain lately and tried to rule out variables such as gluten sensitivity, dairy, etc etc. No improvement. Stopped taking this med and in days knee pain gone. Correlation? Why?

Hello, MJCARNINO! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you've had.

Yes, leg pain can be a side effect of this medication, though as is usual, there's real no explanation as for why it may cause it.

However, there are other options that you can try. Have you spoken to your doctor about it?

I don't have GERD, but my doctor thinks I may have silent reflux. As precaution, he told me to take one Prilosec per day before bedtime. I started 3 days ago, and have developed severe mujscle and joint pain, mostly in my shoulders and knees.

Has anyone gone through this within 3 days of taking this medication?
