Anyone Else Having Hip Problems With ART?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Fayetteville, GA

I’ve noticed my hips have been giving me fits, it’s so bad it wakes me from sleep in serious pain. I am getting lots of rest and not wearing myself out yet it continues to get worse. Have never had these problems until I started ART and was just wondering if im the only one experiencing this. Thanks

Update: Third times a charm, Juluca is hopefully my last ART and as far as they go I’m loving it!
