does fuzeon give bone and muscle ache?

[Guest guest]

I've been doing the fuzeon injections (ackk) for over three weeks now, and all of a sudden I'm getting arthritic type pain. I'm getting it in my hands and legs. My fingers ache and hurt when I pick things up sometimes too. I have never had this type of thing before. I have no history of achey bones or muscles. Is this a side effect from the fuzeon?

Alot of you were so helpful with advice before I started using the medication. I'm also taking Isentress and Truvada, but I took them for a short while before and didn't experience this.

I would appreciate any feedback on this.

thanks,

I've been doing it for about 2 years and never had arthritic type pain. Are you

doing something else that might cause this? I have never heard of anyone

complain of this side effect before either. Of course, I'm not a doctor.

I get site reactions sometimes, they look like insect bites and hurt. Warm

compresses and Benadryl lotion sometimes help. Sometimes don't. But they do

eventually seem to go away.

Best,

I was on Fuzeon for 4 years. During that time I complained to my doctors about joint and bone pain that never went away. They all told me Fuzeon is not known to cause that side effect. I had to take high doses of Naproxen to maintain a decent quality of living.

I've been off Fuzeon for 4 months now, and the pain has mostly disappeared. I cannot definitely attribute the improvement to stopping Fuzeon, as I also stopped some other meds with nasty side effects. But I always felt that Fuzeon was the culprit.
