Could Qsymia Be Causing Arthritis Pain In The Neck, Shoulder And Arm?

I am taking qsymia and have begun to wonder if it has increased the pain in my neck, shoulder and left arm. I had previously experienced some pain and thought it to be tendonitis. I stopped taking the pill for one day to see if I noticed a difference and it seems I did and I am now wondering if this is part of my progressively increasing pain problem. I have had xray that indicates mild arthritis in the left shoulder and an orthopaedic doctor appointment scheduled for today. What are your thoughts.
