What Causes Pain Around Shoulder And Upper Biceps While On Trivenz?

Hi doctor im 24 years old, I was dignosed with HIV 5 months ago by that time my CD4 count was 349 and I had to start medication (Trivenz) immediately. I used to do bodybuilding excercises before but ever since i started using this medication i've been having severe shoulder or upper biceps pains. If i take some inflamatory tablets it goes away for a couple of days and come back again when the medication is finished. Its been very hard its even deficult to sleep because of the pain, and whats worse i cannot do my bodybuilding excersises.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain around shoulder and upper biceps while on Trivenz. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons like cervical spondylosis , cervical radiculopathy , disc problem , tendinitis or brusitis. It is not probably caused by trivenz . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on shoulder and biceps , give it proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order CT scan MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relxant , anti inflammatory or recommend physical therapy and particular exercises .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
