My father needs to lower his cholesterol, but Statins cause him significant muscle problems (Myositis) and elevated Creatine Kinase CPK and Aldalase. His symptoms resolve and tests return to normal when the Statins are discontinued.
What Cholesterol drugs can he try that do not have Myositis as a side effect?
t find the right medicine...Lipitor caused severe muscle weakness, Zetia caused all kind of digestive problems and Pravachol zapped my energy...my count actually went up 30 points while taking WelChol! My doctor is telling me that I have no other choices of medicine to lower my count (total 285, HDL 106 VLDL 21, LDL 188, Triglycerids 106.) My sister is having the same problem so I guess this problem is a family thing. I am really troubled by my doctor's lack of concern.
Statin-associated myalgia, or muscle pain and aches, is a common side effect of the popular cholesterol-lowering agents.
In clinical trials, about 1.5 - 3% of the patients reported the adverse effect. However, now it is believed that the incidence report may be as high as 10 - 20% post-marketing. Myalgia is more common with patients who are older, Asian, female, and those with lower body mass. Other factors include overt physical activities and alcohol abuse.
I have hashi and joint pain, muscle ache, stiff body, frozen shoulder.
You get a feeling as if joints are connected in a crude manner.
When you have prolonged pains like this, our brain tries to avoid any movement that can cause pain. This kind of makes you less mobile and lethargic...
She did blood tests and did an ultrasound all blood tests came back normal and no blood clots. The pain in my muscles has taken over my whole body, it hurts to walk, carry my 4 month old son (who I almost dropped last night), bend over and basically move. I went into the emergency room one day because it was really hard to swallow and i couldn't feel my throat. The ER doc gave me some vicidan for the pain and it didn't help at all.

t talked to you before, but I would like to say hi and give you some advice about joint and muscle pain. I am sorry you are having these problems, I feel for you. I have Stills disease which is a arthritis kind of like rheumatoid arthritis, it is very painful.
Do your joints become hot, warm, red, swollen or tender? Are you running any kind of fever? Do you have any rashes? Are both of the legs or arms affected or just one side?
Have you tried naproxen? Meloxicam? Flexeril? Baclofen?
Well I went to see an oesteopath and he said that he thinks that I do have carpal tunnel...but the numbness and tingling was also happening in my feet (I forgot to mention that in my post). So, honestly, I really didn't think it was carpal. The thing is that I have had this muscle pain since February and I didn't start exercising until about a month ago.
I hate not knowing what is wrong with me. It's just a horrible muscle pain, and it makes me feel so tired too!
I went to the Dr. the first of Novenber for Hip pain. I had heard that muscle and joint pain can come frome hypothyroid so I asked them to do more bloodwork. I was Hypothyroid according to the bloodwork so they started me on Synthroid. I had bloodwork done last week and they said it was normal and to just stay on my current dosage. I have been to 2 orthopedics since November for my hip musce and joint apin and it is no better.
The more I learned about trigger points and hypothyroidism, the more I began to notice referred pain- the muscle causing pain can be in an opposite area you feel the pain. This requires patients and detective work on your part to find it. I am still finding these referred areas myself! Don't give up. I could not ski for six years without major back/hip flareups and resulting nerve pain. This spring I skied three times, each time a little more.
2009 i decided to try the family practice physician he listen to my symptoms and sent me to get ultrasounds for my constant right hip pain.
from everybody ive talked to here on the forum including the doctors
and my parents, and my own GP, ive been told that i didnt have a risk. but almost a month afterwards ive been having joint and muscle pain. this freak me out because ive read that its a symptom. ive been suffering from depression
for years and anxiety. the anxiety has been not to bad until this happened. first week afterwards i probably slept 8 hours the entire week.
I had bilateral knee replacement done in 2008. I went through the operation with no pain. Now, it's a different story. I have jolts of muscle and tendon pain. By that, I mean, if I take a step I get a jolt, which sometimes throws me forward. Sometimes, when I am walking I get a spasm of pain, then it will go away. I do not have constant pain. My walking is not very straight. Anyone with this kind of problem?
