The joint pain that you are describing, if it is not associated with swelling of the joint, is called an arhtralgia. Though not common, both Cardizem and Diovan have been associated with the development of arthralgias. Speak to your doctor, and try to eliminate one medication at a time to see if you can identify the culprit.
