Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
While there are reports of decreased bone mineral density, osteopenia, osteoporosis and fractures in patients on long-term therapy with Epilim, it does not cause any of the problems that you have been complaining of.
I would suggest that you see a physiotherapist who can help with these issues , provided they dont get worse over time and are not affecting your quality of life.
Hope this helps.
