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.

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.
