 Not a doctor, but it sounds like this med caused acute inflammation of joints and muscle.  Go see the doctor (and, BTW, get a 2nd opinion) and tell him there is still a problem....you might ask if a strong anti-inflammatory like Indomethicine might help.

While I am not a doctor, my father was a world famous Pathologist.  Due to all the autopsies and research he did, he maintained that about 80% of people that die in a doctor's care, a "killed" by the doctor...it may be different now with more stringent requirements for Board certifications and continuing study requirements.

Also, you might want to call a pharmacist and discuss the medication with him along with everything else you may be taking (including OTC).  Pharmacists are much more highly educated and knowledgeable about drug reactions and interactions than doctors are.
