I was off my Wegovy for a week and my joint pain came back in force.
I have been on Wegovy for over a year now and I’ve lost like 66lbs! One thing I noticed as soon as I started taking it was that my chronic joint pain from HEDS went away almost immediately. I was at like a 10% pain level instead of an 80 or 90%.
This past week I missed my dose because I was waiting for my med shipment to come, so I was 2wks without taking it, and my joint pain flared up SO bad. I was hobbling around and stiff as hell for the entire second week. I almost forgot how bad this used to be all the time. I feel grateful that this med has positively helped me in that way.
I wondered if anyone else has had similar experiences with their GLP1? I know some studies are coming out showing its impact on conditions caused/worsened by inflammation - maybe one day they’ll approve it for treatment of chronic joint pain!
