Relpax and joint damage

Hello I'm 46, female, i have suffered from migraines since i was 10. I have used Relpax 40mg for the last 10 years. In the last years i've noticed after i use Relpax i have some pain in my joints, could be my fingers, knees, ankles... i asked to my primary care doctor and she said that was impossible, but i am sure abou that. This year a MRI revealed that i have a lot of damage on one of my knees, and i think it could be consequence of the Relpax. Someone has had a similar experience?

Thank you

Ana

Have you googled whether there is a side affect such as this using that drug. Makes me laugh how the GPs say things are impossible.

I took Relpax for decades and have been off it for close to 30 days. It gave me a deep ache between my shoulder blades and some days hard to walk. I have seen improvement since I stopped taking it. I also got leg cramps which my doctor said was not from the Relpax. They don't know what we feel.
