A member asked:

Could norvasc (amlodipine) cause thigh muscle swelling and pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Rick Koch answered

Unlikely: Lower extremity edema or swelling is seen as a side effect in some people but this starts in the feet and works up from there...It is in general not painful. It is also resistant to diuretics...Which also provides clue that it may be a Norvasc (amlodipine) side effect.
