8. Your muscle pain could be a medication side effect
Sadly for most of those who take prescribed meds, certain medications could lead to muscle pain. In fact, it’s a common side effect of medication. So, what’s supposed to keep you in tip-top shape, may result in other not-so-pleasant things like muscle pain.
Your doctor could tell you if medication is the culprit or not. He or she might need your medical history and several lab tests to determine the root cause. A common drug used to treat Alzheimer’s disease, Donepezil is known to cause muscle pain. Some statin medications for cholesterol could cause muscle pain, too.
Just talk to your doctor before making any assumptions.
