Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
8 years ago, I noticed a soreness behind my left knee which didn t go away after being looked at and tested extensively by a neurologist I was taking LIPITOR at the time and as a test, stopped taking it--in 3-4 weeks, the pain disappeared and never returned ---until now. I am NOW taking DILTIAZEM for a heart problem and research I found two ingredients in both pills--magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. Any connection to explain pain behind knee,feels like pulling of tendon but goes away if I raise height of leg. Thanks for any help you can give--

What Causes Pain In Knees After Taking Diltiazem?
Hi, The medication you are taking has no relation to the knee pain, you should ask for MRI of your knee to know what s going on. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Salah Saad Shoman, Internal Medicine Specialist
