Pituitary tumor symptoms: joint, muscle and body aches

Posted by khauert @khauert, Jan 12, 2020

Hi. I am new to this. And not sure I'm in the right category. I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor in November. However, I have been experiencing terrible joint, muscle and body aches for a year now. No doctor knows why and nobody can confirm its from the tumor. I'm frustrated and becoming very hopeless and depressed. Can anyone with a pituitary tumor relate to body pain?

@wildirishrose, hi. Do you have a pituitary tumor? How are you doing?

Colleen, I had a pituitary adenoma which was removed. Thyroid under treated, now being addressed, may be the source of pain, cramping and stiffness, though improvement is very slow.

Most Pituitary tumors are non-cancerous.

@thedee Most but not all of them are non-cancerous.

@hannahbananakevin Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. Do you have familiarity with pituitary tumors?
