Have been on Januvia for 3 weeks, Very bad left shoulder started about one week into treatment. I initially thought that I had slept on my shoulder "wrong". Left leg pain started last week. Lower leg feels tolerable sitting however when I stand & walk, get shin splint type pains. Shoulder is improving & leg pain intensifying. I called doctor's office this morning and relayed symptoms to the nurse. I told him that I was discontinuing Januvia until I heard otherwise. He took my number but physician did not return call today. I find it odd that there is no mention of this type complication in the patient information handouts. I have taken Motrin, Aleve & Extra Strength Tylenol without relief.

My husband has been on Januvia since March. He developed right ankle pain and swelling in Junewithout trauma or any new activity. Ended up having Achilles tendon rupture and tendonitis, just had surgical repair. Developed sudden onset of left shoulder pain in August for which he started taking Naproxen. I am sure these problems are the result of medication andJanuvia being the most likely culprit. He has stopped the Januvia and replaced it with glucotrol. We will monitor for improvement of symptoms.
