My husband was on glimepiride 4 mg (2 tblts daily) and pioglitazone Hal 30 mg (1 tblt daily) both together in morning for a month. He stopped taking them due to swollen feet and hands, shortness of breath and severe shoulder pain that he cannot raise his arms, also hips are in pain. He cannot sleep due to pain in shoulders when he lays down. He s up all night walking around the house. What should he do. His doctor said give it time. This Friday will be 3 weeks. Thank you, YYYY@YYYY
Hi, The shoulder pain is not related to his routine Chat Doctor.  As a first line of management you can take analgesics like ibuprofen or diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
