So here is the caveat, I am not sure these symptoms really are related to Lisinopril or not, but they all started about three weeks after taking 10 mg a day. Waking at night with rib pain, hip and low back pain. At first this was only at night, for several months (the pain was very intense). The pain would move from rib, to right hip, to low back (mid), left hip seeming to make no sense. I have had every test under the sun, MRI, CTSCAN etc. Now rheumatologist believes I have a thing called Ankolosing Spondolytis which is an auto immune disease in which the body attacks the large joints of the body (I tested positive for the HNLAB27 marker). I will be having a special MRI to test for AS. So maybe Lisinopril has played no part in this, but I think it is very coincidental that this all started when I started taking the Lisiniprol. I am wondering if Lisinopril could have been the trigger for AS (if it is AS). Until this started I was in excellent health, 40 year old mom of 4!!

You didn't say: have you stopped lisinopril? If not, why not? Anyway, it is an extremely likely candidate for your symptoms, and stopping is a very cheap test, you just find another way to control your bp, if necessary. The timing of 3-5 weeks after starting is very typical of lisinopril symptoms, as are joint and abdominal & liver pains. For those who have a reaction to lisiniopril, symptoms will rapidly get worse staying on this "med". I'd switch meds even if the doctors convince you it your symptoms are from something else.

I stopped about three days ago. I had a MRI today whether I have AS or not.
