On a hunch I double checked and found out that there is some small incidence of increased joint pain with concerta use.
I am a 40 year old male who has been taking concerta for about 3 months with good to average results. I also have a fairly serious of chronic pain issue due to a severe leg injury. Coincidentally, it seems my leg has been worse lately, especially the knee. Of course I am trying to minimize all meds, and would not want to simply just boost occasional pain-management meds to compensate if there is a chance the concerta may be aggravating it.
So - Has any one noticed increased joint, muscle, or general pain issues with concerta/ritalin ?
Any advice or info is great.
I am considering perhaps having the Dr consider adderal just to see if it makes a difference in regards to the pain.
Thanks!
