Hey all,

I am almost 10 months through my Interferon treatment. About a month ago I have been getting worse and worse joint and tissue pain in my arms, hands, fingers, wrists, elbows and shoulders. This isn't the normal flu like symptoms where there is joint pain. This joint pain has gotten noticeably worse in the last month. I have limited movement, in all the joints mentioned as well as mobility problems.

I take up to 2400 mg of Advil (or more) per day, along with hands full of Tylenol. It helps little, and I have trouble ever getting into a deep sleep, as well as discomfort all day long.

Anyone using Interferon have this problem? And what did the doctor give you for the pain and discomfort, the advil / tylenol line isn't working. I have also tried many other over the counter options.

Casey
