Yes, yes and yes! Prilosec or Omeprazole the generic for Prilosec is what I took for 12 years. My fingers became distorted, I had gout, my legs are still in some pain but I am weaning off of the medication and my bone pain is so much better, gout is gone, fingers are beginning to straighten out and I am walking better. Also, my shortness of breath is almost gone too... not good medication for me! I am taking a zantac 2 times a day and it is helping the horrible heartburn that came with a vengeance when I first stopped the Omeprazole... consider talking to your doctor to a change and not a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) since this stops your production of acid and causes a lot of other problems... just my opinion.

I was prescribed Prilosec for gerd for several years and after a couple of months I developed joint pain so bad I could hardly walk. I was diagnosed as having onset of arthritis. Purely by accident I missed two doses of Prilosec and the pain was almost gone and immediately came back when I resumed the dosage. During the period of two missed doses, my gerd came back with a vengance, far worse that I had it to start with. PPIs should be taken off the market entirely because of their side effects. Sure, they get rid of the gerd but you are hooked for life unless you wean yourself off it as I did. The pain is improving daily.
tmartindub, would you mind stating at this time how you are feeling without the daily dose of Prilosec (Omeprazole)? You said you went off of it as I did too. Without the meds, if I am the least bit stressed, or I bend down, or eat something with too much acid, I am in bad pain and have to take a Prilosec. I am so fearful I will get a much worse problem since as you say we get hooked on the darn PPI's. I still get heartburn but not as bad as I did. I was considering the procedure of having the hernia wrapped around the stomach but do not have anyone I know that has had it done. Please let me know how you are feeling and if you are still off the meds Prilosec?
Thank you,

What you described is the same for me, i.e. stress, bending. However,I don't yet have the pain you mention. Also if I eat small meals and avoid the things I love to eat (not enough space to list) and avoid some drinks like Cokes and such, I do pretty well. I do take Pepcid for flareups but by and large my joints no longer ache all th time and I can walk without pain. My docs told me I was crazy and that they had never heard about Prilosec and joint pain. As you well know, it is all over the net. I hope this answers your questions.

I would like to update my comment of 10/2012. I have managed to get off Prilosec with a lot less discomfort than I was expecting. I went from one capsule a day to one every other day, then one every two days for a period of two weeks. During that time I went back to basics: bland food and water and totally eliminated coffee and now drink hot tea.
When the effects of the Prilosec wore off an it was totally out of my system I only had minor heartburn and reflux for a few days. I used Alka-Selzter at night before bed to help night time reflux. It has been six months and I am, for the most part, reflux free. I still do not drink coffee but rather tea, milk and water. If I overeat, I can still get a bit of reflux but I eat small meals.
My joint pain is much better and now it is only due to arthritis and not the Prilosec. If you are on Prilosec, don't give up.
