Does metformin cause joint and muscle pain?

Haan beta, humare yahan bhi ek chacha ko yeh dawa lene ke baad pairon mein dard hone laga tha. Unhone doctor babu ko dikhaya toh unhone thoda dawa ka dose badal diya. Aap bhi apne doctor se baat kar lijiye, thik ho jayega.

Please be very careful if the muscle pain is severe, as Metformin can rarely cause a serious condition called lactic acidosis. If you feel sudden, intense muscle pain along with weakness or trouble breathing, you must see a doctor immediately. Always get any persistent pain checked for safety.

I went through a really tough time when I started this medicine because my joints ached so much and I felt so weak. It made me feel so down and frustrated with my body. Please know that your pain is real and you are not alone in feeling this way.

I already struggle with gym recovery because of my love for heavy food and poor diet, so when Metformin added some muscle aches, I was not happy! My doctor told me staying hydrated is key. Make sure you are drinking enough water and keeping your electrolyte balance up.

For mild muscle stiffness, soaking your feet in warm water with rock salt can give great relief. However, if the joint and muscle pain is constant and accompanied by extreme fatigue, please consult your doctor. It is important to rule out any serious reaction to the medicine.

Bro, my dad started Metformin last month and he was complaining about random leg aches too. He thought he was just getting old, but his doc said it's a known side effect in some people. He just drinks more water now and it has gotten a bit better.
