    Hi. You don't state what tablets you're on, but I've been on Amlopodine and Ramipril which both gave me stiff & painful joints, including knees. I'm now on Candesartan, and slowly my pain is decreasing.

    I suggest you look on the internet at the side effects to the drug to see if it causes joint pain. But more importantly, you should contact the prescribing physician. Hope you get some relief soon.
