pain in right forum is unusual I doubt it is the finasteride that is causing it. Anyway, the sides are usually the worst the first few weeks then they usually get better.

Hmm. I've noticed shoulder pain after one or two pills before. But I get that shoulder pain sporadically anyway. Do you play sports or work using your arms that might explain the pain? I've always wondered about the corticosteroid effects of propecia. You wouldn't be able to see results that quickly from the vitamins or anything. Hair sheds in cycles and it takes a while to see the benefits of treatments.

The thing is the most bizarre and rare side effects usually get reported when there is a trial for a drug. With all the old geezers and young bucks taking the drugs in the trials that have involved 1000s of men joint pain has never been statistical side effect over the placebo if there was anything even being reported on that at all.

it is doubtful that multivitamins contributed to regrowth unless you were previously malnourished. I would keep taking finasteride at is very unlikely the pain is from finasteride
