Hi, has anyone else had back pain from iron supplements? I started taking Iron Bisglycinate a little over a week ago, and have developed some really weird hip and back pain.
I'm not actually anemic, I am seeing a integrative medicine doctor, and she said my ferritin levels were low at 56. Which is relatively high compared to most people on this sub. She said my levels should be at 100.
I'm just worried maybe I am doing more harm than good with the supplements?
My symptoms before supplementation were fatigue, exercise intolerance, feeling cold all the time.
Thanks so much! Yeah I'm hoping maybe it's just an adjustment period. I do love an epsom salt bath. I think i tried to go up too quickly on my dosage, 25 mg to 50 mg. I'm back on 25 and hoping the symptoms will ease up a little.
