Cialis and Neck Pain?

[Toronto34]

Has anyone experienced neck pain from taking Cialis?

I know lower back pain is common, but I've been getting pain, stiffness and discomfort in the neck and shoulders off and on for 2 weeks. It's not constant and usually fairly mild, but does quite uncomfortable and leads to tension headaches most days.

I think it's Cialis because I upped the dose a couple weeks ago to 5 mg everyday instead of every other day. I am going to cut it out for a while and see if it subsides and then maybe go back to 5 mg every other day.

I think coming off the Cialis for a few days to see if the pain is indeed a side effect is a good idea.

If it turns out that it is, rest assured cialis side effects decrease in severity over time. When I first started taking it I would get a headache, runny nose and 'head-rush'. Now I don't get any aide effects at all.

Thanks Peety. It's strange because did not get any side effect symptoms when I first started on Cialis, only 3 weeks later after I upped the dosage. Hopefully I can go back to the lower dose without issue. It might also just be tension/stress headaches from dealing with a new Peyronies diagnoses! Lots of fun...

About 24 hours after taking my last dose of Cialis 5 mg (and a few hours after my above posts) I got excruciating shoulder and neck pain, especially at the base of the neck. At it's peak I considered going to the hospital. Fortunately that peak did not last long, but I am still having some pain and soreness 2 days later.

I think I am done with Cialis, which is too bad because I enjoyed the effects up until a week or two ago. I don't really have any ED issues, but I am in the acute phase and want to take an aggressive approach. Should I ask my doc for a scrip for Viagra or Levitra?

Back pain is written as one of Cialis side effects.
Try 2.5 mg daily or back to 5 mg every two days.
Myself tried 20 mg Cialis for intercourse, didn't give me any erection, but I got blurred vision, heavy sweat, starong back and neck pain, all this for two days.
Using now for maintenance 25 mg Viagra every two days.
