Taking colace 50mg for constipation with amiteza and synthroid (thyroxine). legs ache and muscles hurt in lower legs what can i do and why is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Amitiza (lubiprostone) & thyroid: Amitiza (lubiprostone) can cause joint pain. How long have you been on this med? When was the last time your thyroid was checked? If real recent, was the blood work normal? Hypothyroidism can cause muscle spasms& joint pain even neuropathy type symptoms in the limbs. Drinking tonic H2O or club soda, which contains quinine; eating 1Tbsp mustard, or drinking apple cider vinegar may help muscles w/o prescription.
