Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to side effects of Januvia.
It can cause joint and muscle pain.
I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen.
I also suggest using an anti-inflammatory cream such as Voltaren cream.
If the symptoms continue I recommend to change the medication Januvia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
