Avatar n tn Recently he started having a lot of joint pain. Now his ankles and feet are swelling. His sugar levels are doing great. We have been to the doctor and he has had several test done. Everything is coming back good. Has anyone had these same symptoms? He is taking Metformin and I am wondering if this has anything to do with this.
1310435 tn?1273598077 IS IT NORMAL TO HAVE JOINT PAIN AS A SYMPTOM OF PCOS??? I CANT TAKE THE PAIN ANYMORE AND MY DR SAID I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT TO CALM DOWN THE SYMPTOMS BUT ITS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT TO EXERCISE WHEN EVERY JOINT IN MY BODY HURTS.
Avatar f tn For many years now (at least 15) I have had various degrees of joint pain. The pain is often made worse by repetitive movements, i.e. I used to play piano but it started to hurt my fingers and wrist, and I play sports and go regularly to the gym so I constantly have ankle, knee and hip pain. I have always had positive ANA but just recently had a RF come back positive at 44. The doctor wants to 'monitor' this but I’m worried as it had been going on for so long.

193609 tn?1292180293 but I have heard that some people on metformin have boob pain once they start the meds.....does anyone else find that to be true? Will the pain go away?
Avatar f tn Just to clarify ..what he said was that the symptoms mentioned above are not necessarily from related liver damage...
Avatar f tn I am currently taking metformin for an increased insulin level. I am also taking vitafen for some back pain that my dr thinks is an inflamed facet joint and flucloxicillian for a painful lipoma the abdomial ultrasound picked up. I am also on the contraceptive pill yasminelle.

Avatar f tn Hello there, The most common side effects of Metformin are abdominal or stomach discomfort, diarrhea, lower back or side pain, muscle pain etc.The common causes of sore breasts are pregnancy, premenstrual syndrome and hormonal fluctuations. Dark areas of pigmentation on the face can be due to long-term exposure to UV radiation from the sun or artificial tanning devices. These areas of dark pigmentation are called solar lentigines and are also called liver, sun or age spots.
Avatar f tn t spoken to my doctor yet but its gone now it only happens when i have sexual intercourse or i have pain in pelvic and hip joint. i lay down yesterday and tried to check what could be wrong and found that my right hip and pelvic joint has pain and causing inflammation i have a feeling i might have pelvic grindle pain.
Avatar n tn I'm newly diagnosed diabetic and taking Metformin 500mg 2x a day. I have been taking it for about 10 days and have had the worse cramps and stomach pain! I'm not sure if it is my pre menstrual, which never feels like this, or the new medication. Has anyone had stomach pains or cramps as side effect of Metformin? I'm also taking Lisinopril-HTCZ.
587778 tn?1261397118 If you have a family history of fibroids, and you take metformin... you should again reconsider... metformin helps your hormones get in line which should increase estrogen, estrogen is a culprit in fibroids........ YOU NEED RESEARCH, lots of it and another doctor's opinion. Please do not take this lightly, if you live in the USA, you should know they love to just make a diagnosis, and usually do not care if it is exactly accurate..... IT IS YOUR LIFE, YOUR HEALTH.....

Avatar m tn If you look at the top of your left hand, make a line from the little finger joint to the index finger joint then continue the line to the thumb joint then continue to the right side of the left wrist then across to the left side of the left wrist then back to the little finger joint, thus outlining the topside of the palm of the hand area. Pretty much, right in the middle of that area draw a circle 1.5" in diameter. That's where my hand hurts.
Avatar n tn t fit having fibromyalgia as having this high SEd rate is not common. I have joint and bone pain not muscle pain. I have also been treated by a hematologist for anemia. No matter how much iron I take and folic acid and vitamin D and B-12 shots my anemia doesn't get much better. I have PCOS. I just turned 40 and I have not been able to have children due to infertility. I lost 95 pounds but have gained 35 back due to getting pneumonia for several weeks and was put on prednisone.

Avatar f tn I started having joint pain a couple of weeks after gall bladder surgery. It is continually getting worse and in my shoulders, wrists and right jaw. My left hip joint has gotten better. The pain hurts really bad at night when I am laying and try to move my arms. I am also having trouble chewing with my jaw in pain. I am 63 years old and a Real Estate Agent. I never had a pain at all until after the surgery. I have always been in good health and don't drink or smoke.
Avatar f tn Joint pain refers to discomfort, aches, and soreness in any of the body's joints. Joint pain is a common complaint, and does not typically require a hospital visit. Arthritis is a frequent cause of joint pain.
Avatar f tn I got diagnosed with hsv2 last fall. After continual outbreaks my doc finally put me on suppression therapy. I've had weight gain depression and now joint pain. It's a 6 month dose and one month to go. Does the joint pain go away after dosage is done? Does the weight come off? I exercise regularly and eat properly. Depression I know is a mental battle. I just don't like the joint pain as I'm trying to get this weight off.
