I Noticed

I noticed some people are experiencing bone pain. Is this common for Hep C? I've been in sometimes extreme pain in my spine and joints.

I have osteoarthritis now...............I've had 3 spinal surgeries due to an auto accident. I'm affraid I'll be completely disabled after treatment. And worse, I live in severe pain everyday most of which is untreated by pain meds. I don't want to suffer the rest of my life. Also I've been losing muscle mass for the last 3 yrs. I'm 5'3" and weigh 124#s. I'm 49..................What am I going to look like when tx is complete??????????????????DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!

I have some bone pain in my right hip, and it's not pleasant.  Mostly though I'm having extreme muscle pain.

I'm in treatment so I thought it's probably a side effect of the pegasys or ribavirin.
