I read somewhere that spiriva can cause jaw pain & severe back pain - like spasms which started happening separately but then started happening together. I have ceased for awhile & have had no jaw or back pain.

Has anyone else had empty capsules in their RX? I've had 2 already and I'm only in my 10th day. Is this common?
