A member asked:
Can nexium 29mg daily cause muscle and joint pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nexium may be dosed from 10 to 40 mgs a day. I'd be hard pressed to attribute muscle and joint pains to it. I think this would be a quite rare side effect. Have you discussed these symptoms with your physician to look for causes of these symptoms? Perhaps you'll be referred to a rheumatologist for evaluation and treatment. Your magnesium level would be worth checking in view of your symptoms.
