Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The medications are not known to cause joint or muscle pain. So you would need to be assessed for another cause. There are different types of arthritis that may be causing your discomfort example osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and gout etcetera. Blood tests and imaging of the joints would be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Michelle Gibson James
