How are you? I'm sorry that you're in so much pain. What medications have you tried? You may do better with something such as Gabapentin. The FDA classifies it as an anticonvulsant that is also approved to help treat certain types of nerve pain. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I had my first shot in November, My back ached nothing major. That went away but I have severe muscle pain in my arm where the shot was given. I can barely lift my grand baby. I called my arthritic doc and he said oh he has not seen anyone with that complaint. I went to my primary doc who wanted me to go to PT . I said why are you sending me to PT when I am telling you I did nothing to cause damage to my arm except have this shot. I am left with un answered questions if prolia caused this and after reading posts afraid to take it again. I did well with reclast but it did not increase enough bone density in my hips, actually they got worse. ## Hello, Lizabeth! How are you? Yes, arm pain is listed as a possible side effect of Prolia, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience skin ra...

Hi, iv had the jadelle in for 2 and half weeks, when I run a figure down my arm it hurts. I can feel pain when I bend my arm or if I lay my son on my arm. I can also feels like a tight string like possibly a nerve next to the jadelle under the skin. Pain only seems to be getting worse. Should I go to doctors or hospital or will the pain go away? ## Hello, Bobby! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, you should have it checked out, it might not have been placed correctly. The FDA lists possible Jadelle side effects as including dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS like symptoms. The tight string spot that you feel is most likely an irritated muscle. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Hi, I've had jadell for 2y...

Thank you. irene ## Hello, Irene! How are you?

It may be due to a problem with your circulation, it can frequently cause symptoms like what you've experienced. Meganeuron OD Plus is a nutritional supplement that can help support your overall health, so it is probably worth trying, it that's what your doctor told you to take. How long will you be...

Im still on day one of step 1 nicoderm patch. I've been having a kind of pain in the arm that I have my patch on. It feels like I had a vaccine this morning. It is not unbearable but just annoying. Has anyone had that before? ## Hi Kat, I haven't been able to find any pertinent information stating that muscle pain is a side effect of the Nicoderm patch. However, after running a couple more Google searches about the issue I noticed a lot of complaints from people on the internet about arm pain due to the patch. I'm guessing it's an allergic reaction that some people may experiencing, but since I'm not a doctor, I don't know for sure. I can't tell you if it's serious or not, but I would recommend getting it checked out by a doctor if the pain persists or be...

Hello all..Sept 29,2014 I was put in the hospital for having 2 massive clots in my lungs. I was put on the small dose of Xarelto for 21 days taking them twice a day. Now I just started 2 days ago taking 20mg 1 time a day. I havent had any issues except for a pain that is in my left arm. What makes me a little worried is when I went into the hospital it was cause I was short of breath and a pain in my left arm.. So should I be worried or is it just a side effect? ## Hi Kendra, Sorry to hear about your troubles with those symptoms. Based on my research, "difficulty with breathing or swallowing" as well as "pain in the arm or leg" are both listed as possible side effects from taking Xarelto. Although arm pain itself is reportedly a less common side effect, difficulty breath...

Anytime you experience such severe issues after starting a medication, you should consult your doctor, as soon as possible. It sounds like this just might not be the right medication for you to take.

My husband took Zetia for several years with no side effects..that we recognized. He has suffered sudden onset vertigo on and off for several years...fine one minute..throwing up and unable to stand the next. He started complaining with his legs being weak so we started walking to help build muscles...he's always been extremely active. After a few more weeks the weakness was worse...legs and hips. We finally researched enough to pinpoint the problem as Zetia. The end of this month will be 3 months off. Now he has severe pain in his arms and shoulders..and the legs and hip issue is better some days than others. We are both scared that this won't get better. The pain from this is stealing his joy...his rest...his ability to live a normal life. At this point...we desperately need p...

I am willing to try anything that might help with the feet & leg pain, my arms & hand pain I am having. Also in my joints. Feels like my nerves,tendons, muscles, are like a rubber band, and being twisted at both ends, until so tight they could pop at any time. The pain gets so bad when I am asleep it wakes me up screaming, running, kicking, then can't find anything then to take for the pain, to relieve just enough to allow me to go back to sleep. But, it wouldn't allow me any relief enough to get back to sleep. I would like to join the Research Team, to see if Metanx will help me. ## Hello, Polly! Sorry about the pain that you're in.

My doctor of over twenty years fear of new laws took my narcotics away. Lyrica causes weight gain & my face & legs to swell. Advil made my mouth swell shut so narcotics were a few of only things I could take. I wish the pill mill doctor would be sentence to two years of what i live with. constant pain even with med, living a tortured life watching others live. I have been doing this over 15yr I really don,t leave the house much, it is just too hard ## Hello, Jean! How are you doing? I am very sorry that you're in so much pain. Your doctor didn't refer you somewhere else? You can still get those types of medications, they just have to be prescribed by a specialist, which for you would be someone trained in pain management. ## Hey! You need a new doctor - either a pain man...

Two weeks after starting Tricor, I started developing muscle stiffness that within two more weeks was so severe, I was only sleeping a couple hours a night because the pain kept me up. I went to the Dr and she said keep taking the tricor -she prescribed muscle relaxers and an NSAID pain med. They said maybe it was bad posture, and caused by working at a computer. They also suggested physical therapy. Neither helped. Two days later I went to a Chiropractor, with no relief. The next week I was calling her office again, after waiting in pain a couple days, she prescribed another kind of muscle relaxer and NSAID for pain, and again said to go to physical therapy. The medicin did nothing at all, and again I was so severly in pain, I felt as if someone was trying to rip my arms from my should...
