After visit to diabetic clinic last week I stopped taking Metformin to see if it was the cause of my horrendous wind problem. Dr said to keep an eye on levels as they may begin to rise. Within days wind problem appeared to have gone and so far levels ok. However I have had aching in my hips and buttock muscles the last couple of days with no obvious reason. I do have Ankylosing Spondylitis but this is not a usual symptom so I'm just wondering if it's anything to do with stopping metformin. I was taking 500mg at lunchtime only.
