Hi Gypsy, I have dealt with a lot of muscle and joint pain. If you really feel incapacitated by it, you might want to see a specialist in arthritis. My arthritis doc told me that she sees many hep C patients who complain about aching joints. Sometimes it comes from a long standing hep C infection. The hep C antibodies settle in the joints causing pain. There are medications that can be tried. I am also sure that there are other reasons for joint pain in hep C patients. I hope you feel better as time goes on and you are further away from having the virus. Congrats on your SVR. (Sue, Community Moderator)
