Clomid causing major inflammation in my body!

I've been taking Clomid at a dose of 12.5mg eod for the past 3 weeks. I'm ready to quit, because I'm convinced that it is causing major inflammation in my body. During the first week, after not doing any exercise other than gentle walking, my right hip began to feel very painful. I also developed rotator cuff pain in my right shoulder, which made lifting my arm above shoulder level very difficult.
During the second week, I woke up with bursitis in my right knee knee. The very next day, I had bursitis in my left knee. Two days later, I had bursitis in a different part of my left knee.
I've never had any of these things before! Clomid must be responsible because I'm not taking any other drugs or any supplements and I'm not doing any type of physical activity to have brought these things on.
Has anyone else experienced similar inflammatory side effects from Clomid?
 
I did not notice such things on my body. Try using some natural anti inflammatory sups like fish oil and turmeric and drop the Clomid for a while.
 
In all honesty, if I starting using Clomid and got all of the side effects you mentioned. I think I would stop Clomid.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
