Does Using Travatan Eye Drops Cause Painful Stiffness In The Joints?
Hi , I have had numerous tests done for extremely painful arm joints. Everything from Ultrasound to an MRI scan. All tests came back showing absolutely nothing wrong. I use Travatan eye drops every night due to high eye pressure. Although all my visits to my opthomologist Show my pressures are normal. Travatan is the only drug I put into my body everyday. Could it be the cause of my terrible joint pain and stiffness I wake up to everyday in my arms ? Thank you , Colleen Goldsmith

Hello,
As per my knowledge as a physician, stiffness in joints is not side effect of Travatan eye drop. Can I come to know whether you have done any rheumatic arthritisprofile?
I will suggest you to review here with detailed history and reports or consult with rheumatologist. I will also suggest you to continue Travatan eye drops.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
