Unlisted Forteo side effect. Anyone had this?
I started my 2nd Forteo pin yesterday. I take 1500mg Calcium with 400iu Vit. D everyday, plus a prescription of Vitamin D 1.25 mg once a week. I also take Omega 3 supplements and I am on Vivelle dot (hormone patch). I am 52. I have pain in my lower back - osteoarthritis for which I take Relafen.
My problem: Since taking the shots, I started having weird pains. I have intermittent pain in various parts of my body. I might have a sharp pain in my foot, then another one in my arm, then one in my side, then one in leg, then in my back, etc... You see where I'm going with this. Sometime the pain is light, but some times it really hurts and I have to stop what I'm doing for a few seconds for it to pass. Not all the time either. Right now I'm fine, but it could start any second.
Has anyone else had these problems? Is it a side effect of Forteo?
Im going to start the drug this week and I will have to take vit d and Omega3 mut in the liquid .

I've been on Forteo for 11 months and for the last 5 or 6 I've been feeling pains like the ones you describe. The worst have been in my knees, for which I saw an orthopedist and, at his recommendation, a physical therapist. It's hard to know to what extent the PT has helped. The pain is better in general, but as you say, it can be unpredictable. I'm having a bone density test this week and it will be interesting to see if there's been any improvement since last year.
