What Causes Joint And Abdominal Pains?
I am taking carbimazole for a week now and I developed joint pains and right lower quadrant pain,lumbar pain and gum sore which are relieved by an ibuprofen. I was terrible last Friday,then today these symptoms eased out because I stopped the medicine but continue ibuprofen. I still can feel a nagging pain on my right lower abdo'l but sometimes I get light headed and with chills and paleness. Im thinking not to ignore these because ibuprofen could have just decreased symptoms of pain, but I needed much more attention than that? Is it time to go to e/r or w8 for my gp on Monday.

Hi.
Carbimazole is known to cause reactions like you have mentioned. It can affect the bone marrow and cause the reduced production of white cells , which in turn can cause many of the problems you have mentioned.
IT is good that you have already stopped Cabimazole.
I would advise you to stop Ibuprofen too unless has been advised by your Physician, as this may potenciate the side effects of reaction.
I wold also advise you to visit the ER immediately, get investigated particularly for hematology in detail, get appropriate treatment started fast.
Also needed is an ultrasonography to find the cause of abdominal and lumbar pains.
