Chronic Pain
I've been taking topical foam Minoxidil for about five years now. About a year into taking, it I started developing several weird pains in my body. First, pain in my elbows, forearms, and hands whenever I used them (felt like tendonitis). Then I developed Allodynia on my shoulder blade and inner thighs. If I'm on my feet all day, I also have extreme achiness in my legs and feet as well as a tingling/numbness in my right quad (stretching makes it worse). I've had blood tests and nerve tests done and nothing was shown to be wrong. In rare cases Minoxidil is known to cause numbness, pins and needles sensations, or polymyalgia rheumatica symptoms. These seem to be different from my symptoms (except for the right quad), but similar enough for me to want to see if anyone else had any symptoms similar to me, that started after taking Minoxidil.
