Teresajane hi, That long lasting irritating pain, that nobody can see, or understand, is pretty horrendous day after day.

I too was in the same position, well still am really, I even asked my Dr if anything could be done, over 2 years ago. Now suddenly they have looked at a recent blood test, it would appear I am dangerously low on Vitamin D.

After 1 week of taking supplement my muscles and joints are improving, it's unbelievable.

I am in no way saying this is your problem, but may be worth mentioning something on this line to Dr.

Hope things improve one way or another.

Hi Teresajane. I get joint pain because I have osteoarthritis as well as moderate COPD, and I can't say if the COPD makes it any worse as I've had o.a. for years. I can get dizzy if I hyperventilate or overbreathe to cope with feeling breathless. That used to put me off doing exercise, until I went on a Pulmonary Rehab course and found out that was what I was doing. The PR physio helped me develop a better way of breathing for exercise.

When i first came out of hospital my visiting respiratory nurse told me COPD can cause joint pains simply due to low oxygen

I would get it checked out could be some form of arthritis and nothing to do with COPD I have PsA and OA and in pain all the time take care x

If you're on statins, they are notorious for causing joint pain. Do yourself a favour and ditch them. Your body will thank you.
