Brief Answer:
Side effects of PPI

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to side effects of proton pump inhibitors.
These side effects are very rare but can happen.
I recommend to stop the treatment and consult the specialist for an alternative medication.
I also suggest to use painkillers to treat the pain.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
