Brief Answer:
Side effect

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Muscular pain can be due to rigidity or stiffness in the muscles. Do you have so?
Rigid muscles can be irritating and not good for older age bracket.

I think you should call up your doctor if you are unable to walk or carry out daily activities.

Thank you.
