Not really: this is not a common side effect of Prozac (fluoxetine). I suggest consultation and examination with your private physician.

Probably not: I doubt Prozac (fluoxetine) the cause of your pain. Probably more likely a pinched nerve or could be some muscle skeletal problem. You should see your doctor.
