Brief Answer:
It is not related to drug side effect.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Jwbryan,
Welcome to HCM.
The problem you have mentioned is not related to any drug side effect because neither zidovidine nor lamividine is causing such problem so be relaxed.
It is mostly due to some other joint patholgy so you can consult orthopedic surgeon to isolate it cause and follow the treatment regime. Don't get worried as the side effect is occuring in only few patients.
Thank You
