Can long term Prilosec use contribute to chronic back pain ?
August 9th, 2009 by admin
I have been taking Prilosec for 10+ years for GERD and I am curious if there is any relation to its use and the onset of chronic back pain ? I have read about Prilosec interfering with calcium absorption and would like to know if there is a connection to osteoarthritis ?
Not very likely. But if you are concerned I would suggest asking your health care provider for a DEXA scan to check for osteoporosis.

I don’t think there is a connection. You may have developed osteoarthritis, and that is what the cause of your back pain is.
