Why does tesamorelin cause joint pain?

The question assumes a cause-and-effect finding that this site's tesamorelin studies do not hold. Those studies report deep belly fat (412 people at 26 weeks; 806 pooled, with the drug cutting deep belly fat by 15.4% more than a dummy shot), thinking in 152 older adults over 20 weeks, and liver fat in 61 people over 12 months. In that liver study, problems at the injection spot were more common, and none were judged serious. None of those results reports a counted joint-pain rate. User reports on the tesamorelin profile mention joint pain, in line with the approved product's label. But this FAQ cannot publish a percentage from the studies themselves.
