A member asked:
Could glucophage (metformin) cause shoulder and back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Metformin has side effects, but shoulder and back pain aren't generally seen. While anything is possible, look for other possible causes. You can always stop the drug and then restart it later if the symptoms go away.
