Question by Sarah K: If you take hydroxycut do you have a chance of catching liver disease?
I recently started taking Hydroxycut about a week and a half ago and I started noticing pain in my upper back near my neck so I looked up some information on hydroxycut and it says some possible things to catch are liver disease. I look up liver disease and it says a side effect is Myopathy could that be the weakness in my upper back? May I possibly have liver disease?

I think you would have to take it longer than a week. Just stop taking it and see if the pain goes away. If not see your doctor.

The only one who can best diagnose your symptoms is your doctor; however, I would recommend discontinuing use of the product to see if your symptoms go away. Unless you already had an issue with your liver, I highly doubt that you have an acute onset of liver disease. As I said before though, only your doctor can give you an accurate diagnosis. He or she may even do a blood test to check your liver function. Here are some symptoms of myopathy: General symptoms of chronic inflammatory myopathy include slow but progressive muscle weakness that starts in the proximal muscles—those muscles closest to the trunk of the body. Inflammation damages the muscle fibers, causing weakness, and may affect the arteries and blood vessels that run through the muscle. Other symptoms include fatigue after walking or standing, tripping or falling, and difficulty swallowing or breathing. Some individuals may have slight muscle pain or muscles that are tender to touch.

Just to give you an idea of other things to look for. Hope this helps
