TAKING OMEPRAZOLE AND HAVING JOINT PAIN



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 3/1/17 and have been taking Omeprazole daily since surgery. For the last 3 weeks I have been experiencing pain in my left hip. I have not had any accidents or trauma to that area. Taking Tylenol does help, but the pain gets in the way of being active. I recently read that the Omeprazole can cause joint pain. I'm thinking I should stop taking it for a while and see if the pain goes away. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I see my surgeon next month and will definitely talk to him about it.

How about going to your doctor first before deciding to stop any meds. You may have underlining issues. I wouldn't wait till I see my surgeon next month if it was me.

Please call your doctor's office and leave a message for your doc about your issue. He may have a simple answer for you, but without calling the office, you won't know. At my group, these kinds of things are handled by the nurse practitioner who usually gets back to us very quickly.

My doctor always has someone on call 24/7 after hours. You need to talk to a surgeon or your doctor's NP. PPIs are important to prevent or treat GERD and you may have to weigh the pros and cons of joint pain vs GERD, which could eventually require sleeve to bypass.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
