JOINT & MUSCLE PAIN 8 years 3 weeks ago #14486
| I've had some muscle pain for sometime, after excercise / sport. Since starting treatment with these new DAA's, I'm experiencing more muscle aches & pains after very minimal exercise . I'm now 8 days after EOT & the aches are still happening. Is this common ?

Hi Michael, I can't provide experience on sides after EOT (yet!) but after 24 weeks treatment your body will be saturated with the meds because of their half life.

| Thanks Gaj, Let's hope so. I'm planing an overseas trip to China in about 5 mths & there will be some mountain track walking, biking etc.. So I'm getting a bit nervous, if my body will bounce back in time.

Hello MH, I found that I noticed some muscle aches after EOT but this also coincided with a new found interest in the gym. Like that new energy after the first week of Sof/Dac so long ago. Also had/have this feeling in my head - like I used to get when stressed. I am banking on this all being associated with all the exercise affecting muscles that have had not been to used for a while. Another thought is that these DAA's, while having minimal side effects, are still somewhat heavy duty, and the body has to adapt to them and now not having them. Currently nothing that worries me much at this time, and feelings are hard to put a finger on anyway. One observation that can be regarded as empirical evidence though, is simply counting the weights on the machines at the gym - there are more of them lately which may account for the muscle and joint stuff. Barring someone telling me my symptoms are indicative of a heart attack, I m happy to weather it all. Yours Jeff P.S. One thing that did change through my 24 weeks treatment was my blood pressure increasing. It will be interesting when I check it again to see if it has fallen. It went from 32mg Atacand to considering reducing to 16mg, then back up so that I am on 32 mg Atacand Plus. Having said that, over some many years I had developed into a bit of a porker as well. Weight after EOT looks like it is starting to come down as well. GT3a 1990 Failed Inter 1998, comb in 2000. HCC 2012 Started 24/52 Sof/Dac 27th October 2015. 1.

I am exactly the same Michael I had little to no pain during tx and now have pre tx bone and joint pain back not muscles though I don't think. My pain is directly linked to peginf damage. I see you also did that poison. In this regard I am not concerned as I think that it's just the legacy of that old tx and in my case perhaps the DAAs masked that annoying pain. Our SVR blood pulls will tell all soon enough Gaj, not long to go for you now, I am thinking of you as you approach EOT you have my support here. Here's to UND for us all I hope the pain sorts itself out. I'm not wanting to return to the Oxycodone regime Michael I am too young to have been messed up but that's the rub. I am being strong about the bone pain at the mo as you sound too but let's see what happens eh? Cheers and wishing you a good recovery It took two weeks for the meds to leave I feel like they're gone pretty much now. I'm more than two weeks since EOT if that encourages you too x.
