Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I take numerous medications that some of the side effects are feeling tired, muscle and joint pain, and my knees hurt. Now I am experiencing muscle spasms in my legs. I have told the doctor about this but she does not feel like it is my meds. I have never felt this bad before I started to take all this medication. I am diagnosed with PBC, Osteoprosis, and sciatic nerve with problems with my lower back. What should I do?
Sciatica can cause lower back pain which radiates to buttocks and lower limb. While osteoporosis weakens bones and patient feels tired and pain in legs on standing.
Drugs like muscle relaxants and antidepressants can make you lethargic but I don't know precisely which drugs you have taken.
I recommend you please visit the hospital and get yourself checked by orthopaedician, neurologist so that your problem can be addressed properly.
I personally feel it is due to sciatica and osteoporosis not by drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
