Knee and abdominal Pain due to ARV's? It's time to get an answer please

[Guest guest]

Hi to everybody;I'm and 33 years old, 4 years positive and close to two years taking ARV's. Since some months ago I'm experiencing left knee pain (cartilage loss) and left-low abdominal pain (very paintfull close to my ligament). I have ask to my doctor several times if the cause of this problems are one (o more) of my cocktail (Lamivudina + Efavirenz + Tenofovir), but he hasn't an answer. I got X-Ray, ultrasound, but nothing (at least on my abdominal regional because on my left knee I have a problem).Well I have reviewed the body forum searching for some information and found a lot of questions of people like me with similar problems but the answer is always the same, the pain has nothing to do with the ARV's, I don´t believe that, I´m pretty sure my problem is

with on of the ARV's but nobody can help me. Here you can find links to questions in the Body site:http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SideEffects/Q218385.htmlhttp://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SideEffects/Q210296.htmlhttp://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SideEffects/Q197831.htmlhttp://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SideEffects/Q219911.htmlhttp://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SideEffects/Q168933.htmlhttp://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SideEffects/Q163150.htmlPeople, you think Truvada (Tenofovir) can be the cause? It is very frustrating not being able to make the sport that I like (Soccer) due the pain in my left-lower abdominal part and knee pain. I can only tell you that all this started since I started taking the medication.Since I don´t have an answer from my HIV Specialist I'm thinking very seriously switch off some ARV's

(one by one) in order to discover which of them is the cause of my problem.Answers and advises are welcome
