What Causes Joints Pain Inspite Of Being On Ranitidine?

I have been taking ranitidine for reflux for several years. I have been experiencing joint pain for the last few. Could the two be related? If they are, would discontinuing the ranitidine alleviate the pain? In other words, would it be reversible? Unfortunately, ranitidine is the only thing I've found that works to treat my reflux symptoms.

HI
Well come to HCM
Ranitidine is not the analgesic drug, if you have leg pain then this need to be managed with any NSIAD and not with acid controlling drugs like Ranitidine because this wont here, better to try Tab Diclofenac 50 mg sustain release once in day for pain and you can switch over to Tab Omeprazole 40 mg for hyperacidity, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
