spanky,
You might want to stop PM for a while. That's what I did when I originally asked this question and it relieved the pain. I went a week and a half with nothing and then gradually reintroduced the PM at 500mg per day. Each week I added another 500mg until I arrived at 1500mg daily (500 morning, afternoon and evening) and never did the pain return. My hypothesis is that your body needs time to implement the metabolic pathways to deal with what you are taking. I have no science whatsoever to go with that but in the end, the stop and restart worked for me. ...I also echo what others have said about being seen by a doctor. Pain is an indicator something is wrong and while it seems probable that PM is the cause, there's always a chance it could be something else. Suspending the PM for a while will only confirm or deny it as the cause.
