Neck/ shoulder pain

Has anyone had neck or shoulder pains whilst on MJ? I'm on some of the threads already and had a trawl back and couldn't find anything. I had this a few weeks ago and felt a bit coldy so could be that again but also wondered if it was a side effect. I woke up feeling like I'd slept funny but felt achey all over really as the day has gone on

Neck pain a common side effect of Liraglutide, are you 100% on which drug you're taking? It has also been reported to increase the risk of thyroid tumours.

As you've had it a while I'd get it checked out.

Liraglutide is Saxenda which is a daily injection, I doubt the OP will be confused between that and a Mounjaro weekly injection.

I've seen this mentioned several times on various threads as a side effect. Usually the day after injecting. If you're concerned then I'd contact your prescribing pharmacy for advice.

My glands in the back of my neck were swollen for a couple of days after taking my first dose. This made my neck and shoulders sore. It felt achy like you do when glands are up when you have a cold or flu.
Hasn't happened again at all in the six months I've been on MJ.

I've come down with a heavy cold tonight so think it must be a coincidence 🙏🏻

On 5mg and 7.5mg a couple of days after injecting I’ve always had really achy upper arms, like I’ve exercised too hard!
