Dr. Ditah,
Thank you for your follow up question. The only medications I take daily or otherwise are for high blood pressure: Lisinopril HTCZ - 20 -25mg, Lisinopril - 20mg, Amlodipine - 5mg and 2.5mg and have been taking same for many years without any problems. I recently completed a 180 day prescription of Prontix (generic) for a duodenal ulcer following 2 endoscopy procedures which discovered the condition and indicated it had shrunk to 20% of its size at the time of the second test 3 months ago.
Sorry that there was a delay getting back to you. Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Medications unlikely cause of your soreness!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
Medications are not possible explanations to this soreness. I will suggest that we get further clinical evaluation by a rheumatologist. We would need to look for markers of connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid factors, auto-immune markers, etc to see if there is anything else going on.
wish you well and keep me posted when this is done.
