Been taking this medicine for 5 months once a day in the morning, I was told by three doctor's that I have acid reflux bad. Tested for ulcer came back negative. I like this medicine but today my legs cramped and throbbed real bad that my anxiety flared up. I went to my doctor two weeks ago about my legs feeling sore on and off but no real alarm. He said i have bad circulation that was all, no alarm from this medicine no nothing! Now today really freaked me out. I am going to stop taking this medicine and go back to my doctor. Sucks if my stomach hurts but this is a bad side effect IF this is from the medicine. I take multi vitamins every morning, i eat leafy greens about every day, drink two cups of coffee in the morning, drink water through out the day. Is this medicine taking something from my body to cause this pain? I like the medicine for it helping my stomach problem. I am confused if it is making my legs and arms hurt bad. :( Thank you for any feed back i can get.
Pantoprazole - Has anyone had bad leg pains? Arm pains?

This question was asked in 2014 - I am having SAME issue (December 2024) with fairly severe leg pain (feels muscular) when I sit or lie down at night. (Just started taking Pantoprazole 2 days ago for stomach ulcer) It seems to last at least 30 minutes when I lay down to go to bed at night. It’s pretty painful. HAS to be this drug….. I have taken nothing else new and have never had this issue.
There is a small incidence of muscle aches with it. Let your dr know so he can put you on one of the other ones.
Thank you for your feed back, i have another prescription for a different medicine, but that one made me real dizzy and out of it. I am going to head back to the Dr on Monday if not tomorrow if the pain don't go away.
