Yes, but sometimes we have other medical problems too, so it is important to get a good diagnostic work-up. Some people also get autoimmune problems. Hope you get a diagnosis, and relief soon Jess.

Yes the virus does cause joint pain, muscle cramps as well as  in feet and hands. I have all three. As I'm sure several other illnesses. Best of luck to.
I'm currently waiting on ledipasvir to be FDA approved to try tx for the third time in 4-5 years. Third times a charm, right ?

I too have severe cramps in my feet and legs, never attributed it Hep C but it sure makes sense.
