How long does it take to recover from the joint pain associated with Advair? I have been off of it for two weeks and my knees and elbows still ache. Some days are worse than others but I am worried the 30 days of use damaged me permanantly. I am only 42 and have had no joint pain ever until using Advair. I stopped it's use because I was suspicious of the pain and looked up the side effects and sure enough there was a 2% to 5% chance in the fine print, that one could experience this side effect. Does anyone know how long I will suffer? I am miserable. My joints even hurt while sleeping.
