A member asked:
My husband has been taking metformin for a very short time. but ever since he started he's been aching all over his body. what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other evaluation: The most common side effect of metformin is diarrhea, or other GI symptoms such as nausea/stomach upset. Achiness is not common. I would look for another cause for that symptom.
