increased joint pain with bp medication

Minty

I was put on medication for high blood pressure in early March and pain jn my knee and foot joints has increased hugely. I've tried two different types, now kn an ACE inhibitor, but the stiffness snd aching remains. Feels as if someone poured cement into my legs and like there's a compression band around legs from the knees down. I'm on list for surgery for both knees but this pain is way worse than before the medication. Has anyone else experienced this as a side effect of high bp medication?

Morning @Minty sorry to hear your concerns about BP and medication.

Have you discussed with your doctor/consultant ?

I would also make a diary and take photos as evidence to show them.

I am sure others will connect with you soon.

Best wishes @Naomi33
