Hi everyone,
Complete newbie here.
I am recently diagnosed with type 2 and I am slowly working my up to full strength metformin. I am now taking 3 tablets, soon to be 4. this weekend after being on pill 3 for 4 days my body encountered very painful muscle pain from top to toe, I didn't even think my fingers could hurt!! Mainly my upper body but at times all the way to my toes. Just wondering if many others have had this issue? It might be a complete coincidence, who knows?
A quick mix of Ibuprofen and paracetamol seems to reduce the effects pretty quickly but if I miss a painkiller dose I know about it!!
I shall be speaking to my GP tomorrow but as far as I am aware muscle pain isn't a common side effect for a 45 yr old man, 85 Kg's
