Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Muscle weakness is a side effect of insulin.
It may also be related to diabetes.
Over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, may help alleviate mild to moderate pain.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
