RE: Severe Aching of Bones

Caroline,

My husband started about the same time as you.  Severe bone aches has been a big problem for my husband too.  Literally, every part of his body hurts.  It does wax and wane a bit but is always there.  He says Advil does not seem to help.  Mostly, he just takes it one day at a time.

Thanks HazeySask.  Yes the pain has been all over for the last few weeks, however has lessened just these last few days, for which he is grateful (and relieved).

I've only experience very light pain in what feels like my bones, mostly concentrated around major joints (knees, elbows, hips).

Is this pain all over his body, throughout his limbs? Or is it at major joints?

Aside from vitamins, I basically take a Advil Gel Cap with every Telaprevir dose and tylenol when I feel like I need something extra.
Can't say it helps a lot, but it does help with my joint pain.

Hubby is coming up to the end of Week 30 this coming Monday.  He has been in quite a bit of pain the last few weeks.  He's aching all over, like severe bone aches, or as he says: like a mallett continually tapping at all my bones.  The aches are more severe in places where he has old injuries (as to be expected I suppose).  He has been taking Panadol and using a wheat bag to no avail.  He takes a Vitamin D and B12 each day also.

Have others experienced this and any advice offered would be great?  Caroline
