What Causes Muscle Pain While On Amlodipine?
I have been taking amlodiipine for 2 weeks for high blood pressure. I am having muscle and bone pain and am having difficulsty walking. The pain is also in my back and neck. I have had both hips replaced, and have been told I have arthritis in my back. My knees are involved also. Since taking the med. I have had pain in my feet, arch, and hands and arms. Could the med be causing the problems? Should I keep taking it to see if my body adjusts to it or seeabout a change?

Hello,
It is not related to amlodipine. The symptoms are more likely suggestive of simple musculoskeletal pain. Genrally it will settle in couple of days and you can use analgesics like tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
