Default sick of clicking joints

ok so i took fin for 3 months last year good results but had to stop due to pain in knee joints and bad clicking in diffrent joints once i stopped it all got better after 6 weeks or so also i kept pulling muscles on it something i have never done before.
so this year i started again and 4 months in joints are clicking again and have pulled muscles twice while on it which proves in my case it effects mu joints anyone else have this happen esp knees very sore and clicking
have to say its really good for my hair and do not want to stop using it

I haven't experienced that. It sounds like something that could get worse with time. Check with your doctor.

I don't see how Finasteride and clicking joints could possibly be related. Have you tried a MSM/Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement?

Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

That could be any one of a number of different issues, but it doesn't seem likely that joint issues would be connected to the medication. I'd consult your doctor.
