Does Sovaldi Used In Treating Hep C Cause Joint Arthritis?
Hi, I was diagnosed with Hep C several years back and until last year put treatment off. I went to doctor and started treatment July 2014 and finished treatment on December 2014 with no virus detected on follow up Jan. 2015. Does Sovaldi have any side effects on the joints in my body ie. joint arthiritis? Im having joint pain in Knees.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern anti-viral drug may cause the joints pain but it may not be that much severe enough and it can comes to normal in few weeks even with the treatment, if this is there when you off the drug then reason could be something else and may not be the anti-viral drug, hope this information helps, take care.
