Anyone else dealing with this as a symptom? It's a fairly new one for me and those first few steps getting out of bed in the am are killer!

It does get better as I move around but comes back throughout the day when I get up after sitting.

ETA UPDATE

So I found out what was causing my tendon pain. The samento!!!

We figured this out because the pain had seemed to improve a bit when I took a med break to focus on detox.

I recently started the samento again and the tendon pain worsened. I stopped 2 days ago and can feel some improvement already.

When faced with pain you have two choices....either quit and accept the circumstances, OR make the decision to fight with all the resources you have at your disposal.

What are you taking for treatment right now?

I know that one of the abx (or statins?) has a "serious side effect" of tendon damage!

Anyone here know which one??

Philly78 - Have you told your doctor about this?

I stopped abx two months ago and switched to herbals. Never took Cipro or Levaquin which I believe are the ones related to tendon damage.

I was on omnicef and Zith throughout my pregnancy.

I just had my appt the other day and did tell my doc but to be honest, I was so out of it, I don't even remember if she told me anything in reference to this.

I had it a couple of months ago, my daughter has it now. It's one of those symptoms that comes and goes. If you are not on Levaquin, that is.

This could be Bart. I believe Samento hits Bart. I had this a few month back when I ramped up Bart treatment. I wasn't on Levaquin/Cipro/Factive at the time.

SOmeone else also reported this while going after Bart too.
