Hello. I have only been on Lansoprazole for a week following a severe bout of acid reflux - finished up in a&e because they thought it was cardiac chest pain. I feel Ok with the tablets, watching what I eat, but I am getting muscle pain in my lower legs. Has anyone else had this side effect or is it perhaps caused by something else? - and the occasional headache.when I never normally get headaches. ## Actually, those symptoms could be the signs of extremely low magnesium and the monographs direct that you should stop taking the Lansoprazole and contact your doctor immediately. They should check your magnesium levels and help you supplement back, if necessary. You can learn more Lansoprazole details here. It is known that this class of medications can cause a deficiency of it, in som...

Can I use hyospas as I am struggling with this pain for a day. ## Hello, Bennett! How are you? This medication is listed as containing the active ingredient Scopolamine, which is commonly used as an antispasmodic, but in most cases for gastrointestinal issues. What has your doctor told you to take? Its typical side effects, as listed by the NIH, may possibly include dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth.

Does anyone know the possible MEDICAL cause of the pain. Is the colesevelam preventing the uptake or processing of some other nutrient that is causing these cramps? Does anyone know of any remedies that get at the CAUSE (ie, is it a vitamin or other lipid I am not absorbing correctly?). I know I can just take tylenol or something, but I don't want to be on those pain killers every day as they cause other problems as we all know. Welchol works to stop the intestinal issues (gall bladder removed). But the pain in my feet is debilitating. ## Actually, this medication has been known to cause general myalgia as a side effect, according to the FDA, along with headache, flatulence, constipation and abdominal pain. Thus, a pain reliever may be your only option. Have you consulted your docto...

I have been using fenofibrate for about 4 months. About that same time I started having sharp pain in my left hip area. I thought it might be a hip problem but it seems to be more like a muscle in the top of my buttocks to my very lower back. At times it seems to be more pronounced in the front side like my upper groin area. Sometime the pain lessens some if I am doing more physical activities during the day like mowing the lawn and working around the garden. I have also just in the last couple of days been having severe soreness in my right shoulder deltoid area. I just saw that the fenofibrate can cause some muscle aches. I stopped taking it a few days ago (my Dr.told me to anyway when the last prescription ran out) My question is if these are side effects from the fenofibrate how lon...

Since taking this inhaler - My breathing has improved greatly - but I am in extreme pain - don't want to stop taking - pain is better than not breathing. Any ideas? ## Symbicort contains the active ingredients Budesonide and Formoterol to treat asthma and COPD. I am not finding anything that lists this as normal side effect.

I am taking this medicine for almost 4 years. It's been over a year with the pain. Every time I get a Pedicure it is really painful when they massage afterwards. First I did not think a lot of it but it got so painful, even my arm muscle hurt when you touch. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? The FDA lists Hydrochlorothiazide as a diuretic and muscle aches are among it's possible side effects, along with nausea, dizziness, headache and dehydration. And therein lies another possible issue, if it's causing you to be slightly dehydrated, that could also cause these types of symptoms. Is your urine light yellow/almost clear or very dark? How much liquid do you take in each day?

Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year by the DEA, you'll need to see a pain management specialist, now. A general practitioner won't be able to prescribe them. Vicodin is listed by the FDA as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Soma is a muscle relaxant and its most common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Do yo...

I started the Estring after I went into menopause from Chemotherapy. I started to feel a heaviness in my chest, coughing and a lot of mucous along with muscle pain. I contacted my OB and she said she didn't think the symptoms I had were from the Estring. Did anyone else have these symptoms? ## The chest tightness is actually listed by the FDA as being possible allergic reaction, which could also encompass coughing and etc. How long have you been on it? Are you still on any other medications? Has there been any change? Have the symptoms worsened, or improved? ## Shortness of breath is a serious side effect (it looks like SOB from your symptoms. That's an allergic reaction and you should stop (I'm not a doctor, but I've had similar symptoms with other drugs)

Please suggest me to get rid of calf muscle pain and Treatment in form of tablets. ## Have you consulted a doctor? Proper treatment will depend on getting a proper diagnosis and any other medical conditions you may have, as well as other medications you may be on. If it is just cramping of the muscles, it could be caused by having a potassium deficiency and it might be solved by just taking a supplement for a few days.

I have been on gabapentin for a about 4 months. Just in the past 4 weeks I have noticed horrible muscle pain in both legs (taking the med for nerve pain in left leg). I don't see the pain doctor until after Christmas, so was wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this, yet another, pain. ## Hi Linda, Based on my research, pain or swelling in the arms or legs is one of the less common side effects of Gabapentin. You can follow the link for more info: mayoclinic.com/health/drug-information/DR600709/DSECTION=side-effects I hope this helps! ## Thank you for the info. I take so many meds it might be hard to decide which one might be causing this new pain. I am having a spinal cord stimulator put in after the first part of the year. I am hoping I can get off all meds after that:) ...
