Question
I took a medication for a month and got terrible spasms in my arms. I
called the manufacturer to report the problem, and I immediately took
myself off the medication. However, for the past month, I haven't slept
because of these arm spasms. I've gone to three different endos who all
agree my symptoms might or might not be from the medication, but they just
don't know enough about it.
I'm in agony day and night, and it all began when I started using this
medication. I've had massages every other day to help with the spasms, but
all its done is to cost me money with no relief.
I plan on speaking to a lawyer who is also a doctor I just want to warn others of this
I am really
at my wits' end, and in constant pain. It's 4:30 am, and I have slept a
total of one solid hour tonight which is typical of every night since the
spasms began,
Answer
You haven't given enough information about your situation: for instance,
have any tests been done? From what I read, I think you need to see a
specialist, probably a neurologist (and not another endocrinologist!): ask for a referral! An
attorney is not what you need, unless you want to impress upon your
previous physicians the need for them to make appropriate referrals.
