It is rare, but some of us have suffered from it.
For me, the first sign was shooting, intense pain in the toes and fingers that came out of nowhere. Later, severe muscle pain and weakness in the legs.
Metformin is a great, low cost drug that works well for 99.9% of the people. Try it as your doctor prescribed. If you start to get unexplained pains in your toes and fingers see your doctor immediately.
