A member asked:
Since starting metformin for pcos i have had lower back and side pain. can could metformin cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unllikely: The major side effects of metformin are stomach cramps, bloating, and loose stools which usually resolve after 1-2 weeks but may persist. If you have lower back and side pain in addition to stomach complaints it might be the metformin but unlikely if it is just back and side pain
