I seem to be experiencing sever lower back pain for which I need to medicate.  I was on Omeprozole previously and felt unwell on that.  Any one else getting similar symptoms from this medication?

    Why do you think your back pain id due to your medication?

    Can you please provide more info. How long were you on omeprazole, were you on them daily, what dosage were you on, what other meds do you take, what conditions do you have?

    I also have been experiencing lower back pain for around 4 years now as well as urinary incontinence, thining hair and feeling lethargic. I wonder if it has anything to do with takin PPI's.  I previously suffered from severe GORD and prescribed 2x20mg esomeprazole daily (one in morning, one at night for 4 years now) which has erradicated heartburn which I found unbearable and as a result was diagnosed with Barrets oesophagus.  Now I am prescribed ferrous fumerate due to low red blood count.  I do believe all these symptoms are a result of taking PPI's, however much easier to put up with than sleepness night with heartburn and the possibility of my Barret's progressing.
