I felt wonderful while taking Bisoprolol but unfortunately it made the bottom of my legs, from the knees down, ache dreadfully.

I'm on bisoprolol 3.75 am and 1.25 pm. My back is always aching. My legs sometimes too but there can be a pause. I suffer from severe pain in my knees; particularly my right knee. All of these symptoms come and go. I don't know if its bisoprolol or Eliquis. It's beginning to get me down.

OMG . I have terrible sore legs with Bisoprolol feel like I’m walking with two magnets sometimes

Yes, lower leg muscular pain for ages. I thought that it was due to my increasingly worn out knees, but when I eased myself off the Bisop, with the consultants approval, the 'muscle pain' went away. Have since had one knee replaced, awaiting the other one to be done soon.

Yeah, my legs ache terribly to the point I struggle getting up from a crouched position, always had bad back ache but seems to have got worse.

Anyone know if there is a better alternative to bisoprolol? I'm thinking it's a contributor to a lot of symptoms I'm feeling.

I take Metoprolol now and no leg pain

I take Bisoprolol and have done for many years. I too get aches and pains in my legs but am 70+. My biggest problem with it is coldness of extremities which I know is caused by it and extreme tiredness. I am in permanent AF which doesn’t help the tiredness either but as I am ticking along ok so I leave well alone.
