Pravachol leg pain

Common Questions and Answers about Pravachol leg pain

pravachol

Avatar n tn does muscle problems from taking the generic pravachol include a burning feeling in the knees which causes pain when walking or bending knees?
Avatar n tn leg pains and severe cramps for three nights (they left & never came back), resurgence of the peripheral neuropathy which I first got years ago from a year on Pravachol (statin) all the way up to my knees, worsening of my lung disease (which I discovered started with the Pravachol, stopped when I was off statins, and grew again when I went back on) AND wildly erratic heartbeats and tachycardia (all the way up to 140 beats per minute).
Avatar n tn I was on medication in and out as I develop side effects to the statin drugs. I was on Lipitor, then on Pravachol and lastly on Crestor. None of them had problems loweting the Choesterol levels, but muscle and joint pain even with Vit D and Co Q10 as prescribed my physician. However, I came off crestor yesterday as I started feeling Dizzy. I am normally a "healthy", active energetic person. Now my doc thinks we should try Zetia which is in a different family of drugs.
Avatar f tn Over the years the symptoms increased, and I now have severe lower back and neck pain, joint pain (especially knees) and my RLS has become more pronounced. I now have the symptoms beginning much earlier in the day, so have had to increase the use of Sinemet. I now believe the Lipitor may be the cause of my "restless leg syndrome" and also the cause of these other aches and pains that are becoming much worse.
Avatar m tn No other symptoms what so ever. Find it hard to loose weight even I try, take toprol and pravachol, was on Z-pack for strep throat when CT was done. Someone?
Avatar f tn I have tried two different statin durgs, both leaving me with horrible muscle pain. Dr had changed from Lipitor (generic) to Pravastatin 40 mg, but still horrible muscle pain. Dr wants to put on another statin( saying this has less side effects) and extremly expensive...But I would like to try a Non Statin is there is one on the market, or would there be supplements that are available and have good results? Mainly I would like names of non statins to research and discuss.
Avatar f tn My psychiatrist has me on Lamictal, Effexor, Neurontin, Wellbutrin, and Nuvigil. From my PCP I take Pravachol and Lisinopril. Is it safe to take all these together? All answers are appreciated.
Avatar n tn My blood preasure has been high since before I found out I was a diabetic. He also has me on pravachol. My cholestrol was high before I was told I was a diabetic. It has read the same since I have been on this drug. Would it be wiser to change either of the drugs or to add plavix? I have been on pravachol for at least 6 years and diabetic only two. Another area I have noticed in your forum, is the effect of caffine on blood sugars.
Avatar n tn Also, severe nocturnal leg cramps and a severe ramping-ing up of the peripheral neuropathy which hit years ago with a year on Pravachol, but it was the heart stuff that spooked me. However, the heart symptoms all resolved in a matter of months except for the Brady/RBBB and have not come back (it's been over a year now) and of course the cramps disappeared in about a week. So don't fret; you may come out of the woods yet.
Avatar n tn I take prevacid for heartburn and pravachol for high cholesterol; also using mupirocin ointment since I had sinus surgery in September.
Avatar n tn Over the past 12 years or so I have taken Lipitor, Pravachol and, when 200mg total Cholesterol wasn't good enough anymore, Vytorin, which brought it down to 160. But, at the end of all that about two years ago I wound up in the ER with severe kidney problems. The doctors said, don't worry about it, just muscle pains and sent me home.
Avatar m tn Findings consistent with Vascular disease etc. Put on asprin and Pravachol for precaution. Had an Ultrasound of heart on 29/5/08, showed enlarged Aorta and Left ventricule. Never had High blood pressure, taken 120/90. No chest or back pain. No shortness of breath or any other symptons. Of note- Occassionally through childhood, adolescent and adult years when did high cardio exercise found it hard to get a breathe(scary), always ice cold feet.
Avatar m tn You should consult a neurologist and get complete neurological examination done to evaluate the cause of pain..Do you take any medication?Are you hypertensive?The pain could be neurological,may be nerve involvement or facial neuralgia. Unless any examination is done the diasease diagnosis is difficult.
Avatar n tn Hi...I am on numerous meds...heart(tachycardia arrythmia)-ATENOLOL; High Cholesterol-CRESTOR; Hernia-PRAVACHOL; Fibromyalgia & Osteo-Arthrytis-KETOROLAC; water retention-LASIX; Sinus-FLONASE; Dysrythmia-ATIVAN. I have also been on EFFEXOR for 5 years for severe depression. My dosage has been increased twice in the past month--I now take 187.5 mg...I woke up at about 12 midnight last Sunday and I have no recall of the past 4 days; however, I apparently withdrew $7000.
Avatar n tn however, I have high blood pressure (norvasc), osteopena (sp) and high cholesteral (pravachol). I really don't want to take fossamax or any more drugs than necessary, but also do not want a recurrence of breast cancer. Is there a clinical study and shows femara vs placebo rather than femara vs tamoifen (novartis trial)? What is the general recommendation? Can you stop femara if side effects become a quality of life issue? Thank you.
Avatar n tn For the last 3 years, I was managing my idiopathic peripheral neuropathy ( burning and tingling sensation in my feet) with fairly low doses of Lyrica. Not really a problem with exercise and walking. My pain level was at about a 3 on a scale of 10. About 4 weeks ago, I started exercising 6 days per week using elyptical, treadmill and weight machines to lose weight. I lost about 15 pounds but the pain in the soles of my feet increased to about an 8 on a scale of 10.
Avatar m tn I do have in my family some cases of high cholesterol, all temporary and diagnosed as stress related cases. Her daily diet did not changed, she eats well (meat without fat, vegetables, fruits) as I said, she is very active(she plays all day). The only difference about her is that she has swollen eyes when she wakes up or after crying(more then normal). Doctors said that is not a symptom and that she is in good health. The same doctors were wrong before so...
808904 tn?1307057809 I eat nothing much but oatmeal, veggies, fruit and fish and whole grains. I am on 80 mg pravachol per day. I do have some stomach burning and take 300 mg. of rantidine twice a day. Never any shortness of breath or anything like that. My lipid numbers are all pretty good...total cholesterol was 151, HDL was 56 and triglycerides were 71 My glucose was 80. These numbers are all from a blood test in December. Have dr's appt for check up on 6/17. CRP is always .4 or .5.
Avatar n tn My understanding is that the statins with the greatest LDL reducing effect are Crestor, Lipitor, Zocor, and Pravachol, in that order. I don’t mention Leschol and Mevacor since they appear to be rarely used since recently due to the aforementioned being more powerful. Do we have any available solid data on the effects of the various individual statins other than LDL reduction? For example, do we know which ones raise HDL the most? What about effects on particle size or Lp(a), etc.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the answer to my question, I just had knee surgery one week ago today, and was experiencing painful leg pain. I have a history of blood clots in my legs, the pain in which I am feeling is much like what I felt when I has the blood clot in the pass. I was sent to have a venous dopper test done if it was determined that I had a cyst in the vein in the back of my knee. Just did not know if this was something serious or what I should do about treatment for this problem.
1936550 tn?1348360208 All I had with my son was restless leg syndrome. With my girl I had extreme back pain, now this. My question is what could be causing this? Im scared I might get them again tonight.
Avatar f tn Has anyone else experience leg pains during labor?
Avatar f tn Earlier I had this extremely bad pain in my leg, I have never felt something like it. I have a sciatica nerve but this was nothing like it and I also were having contractions everytime I felt the pain in my leg! Anyone know what it could be? I dont feel it anymore at least for right now. I have an appointment tomorrow gonna talk to my doctor about it. And also anything I can do for the pain!? 38 + 4 weeks.
Avatar f tn Hi! I went to the doctor Monday, we are still waiting on the results from the culture he did but he is pretty positive I have genital herpes. I'm having some pretty weird leg pain it pretty much feels like my legs are sunburned my skin all over my legs is very tender. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it related to gh?
