Joints hurt all over body. Need Some Advice.

I may have been a little harsh in my wording, so I apologize to anyone whom I may have offended as all the advice given was solid. However in a case like this I feel its always a good idea to seek a professional opinion as well.

Never speaking to you again! -- kidding of course. Nice of you to follow up with that post, and I agree with your recommendation to seek medical attention.

I will admit that he used the words "excruciating pain" and I didn't catch it until I went back up to read it again. I must have skimmed it and thought, "another guy with aching joints."

Hey Guys!

So my Doctor said I got bit by a spider or some type of bug since the pain started in one area of my body and spread throughout. However, this week I recently started taking my creatine supplement again and I started having joint pains. I am concluding it is the creatine causing the joint issues. So I have went to the store and added Extra Fish oil to my diet, MSM, Glucosamine, and Chondroitin. The pain has virtually subsided. Is there any study out there about creatine causing such stress to the joints?

Did the dr mention lyme disease? Thats kind of what I was afraid of when my thumb and wrist starting hurting. I was having other pain as well,knees,back,PT confirmed it was tendonitis and not gout. As for the knees and back it's probably just because I'm working for a living. I'm glad you're doing better. I've never heard of anyone having joint pain from creatine but we are all different and react to chemicals differently.

Yes absolutely this is why I said to stop it immediately, as well as any other recently added meds.

Did you mention to the doc, the relationship between the start of the creatine with the onset of pain? Regardless, the doctor in the routine questions for something like this should have asked about any supps, meds, or herbals, or exposure to pesticides, chemicals as part of a standard intake procedure for this type of thing.

Just goes to show, you can send a moron to med school and you get back a moron with a license to practice medicine LOL

Anyway if you google {creatine causing extreme joint pain} you will find this is a side of creatine for quite a few people.

Seems that in actual medical literature there is not a relationship, kinda makes me wonder if the problem may batch specific and be related to contamination during manufacture or packing and that Trichinella is somehow being introduced. Would be interesting to have someone who is creatine tolerant try your creatine to test this theory...but not me brutha!!
