Sudden Joint Stiffness and Some Swelling
by 4me2use, Jan 14, 2009 01:49PM
Hi. I have been taking topamax for migraine prevention for approximately 4 months. I have pain in my shoulders, hips, knees, wrists and ankles. The pain came on very suddenly. I read that topamax can have joint pain as one of the side effects and have weaned myself off the med. I have not taken any for the past 4-5 days. However, I am still very stiff and achy and my ankles have been swollen for the past 2 days. Do you think that this is still a side-effect of the topamax or maybe something else?

love your user name! I think you should talk to your doctor about the pains you are having and the possible causes - side effects or new issues. There may be another migraine medication you can use, too. Migraines are such a misery and I cannot imagine suffering without meds to help. Please let us know what you find out!
