Sides from minoxdil. Can it be transient and disappear later if I decided to continue

[razelscnhaps]

Hi

I have side effects from minoxidil.
Breast pain 5/10 minutes after application but especially persistent pain since 3 days at the tendon above the heel of my right foot.

So I would like to stop it but I read that quit so early during the intial shedding could waste 1 hair cycle. Or that the hair could not grow back.

I am so ****ing lost. If there had not been that shedding, it would have been easy, because my hair loss is not really visible yet, and I do not want it does with that crap, and this mistake (begin/stop/begin again)!

I took it during only 1 week (from around 17 to 22 May, 1ml-1 time/day) and then, stopped it, + again since 3 days !!
My foot becomes very painful! It's been two days that it keeps me awake at night.

Breast Pain can be a side effect from Finasterid

I know, I had it, but it was so soft that I wonder myself if it was real.
With minoxidil it is the same but very stronger, and few minutes after apply it.

Achilles tendon pain is much more annoying.

I agree that it could sounds strange but I never had pain like this one before.
This document (in french) mentionned minoxdil as likely to cause tendinitis pain ("tendinite") but I don't know.

My real problem is that I would stop minoxidil, mainly for other reason (timeline to appreciate effectiveness of propecia, already on, since 5 months) but the shedding has begun so, scary!
It is acceptable when you are still medication but if you're not... I feel trapped and spend all my days to wonder what I'll do when the night comes...
