Common Questions and Answers about Crestor leg cramps
crestor
There are a number of reasons to have leg cramps and different types of leg cramps. I dont think the development of cramps in the legs would have any relationship to stents in the blood vessels of the heart. If there is any relationship beyond coincidence, perhaps it is that medications like diuretics to treat hypertension and heart disease can cause dehydration and electrolyte disturbances which can predispose one to night time cramps.
Spinal Stenosis in the lower lumbar area. As well, he had been taken Crestor and diagnosed with Statin myopathy 1 year ago as a result of very high CK levels. He was taken off the Crestor immediately .. put on another drug which is not a statin. One year has passed and he still has high CK levels and very severe and weak legs. He tries to exercise but can't do it for long. Calf muscles jump all the time and are tender. He can't walk around the block.
About 6 months ago, almost nightly I began having recurring painful feet, or leg cramps, for which my doctor prescribed 100 MG of Gabapentin daily at bedtime. It hasn't helped and also, the warning sheet for side effects was scary. When I got my annual bloodwork done in May, my FREE T4 was high at 1.21. My doctor lowered my Synthroid dosage from 75 to 50 MCG.
hi! My Dr put me on Crestor, 40 mg once a day for high cholesterol and coronary plaque buildup..... Today is my 4th day taking it. Ive seen the commercials...and Ive researched online...It seems ok...Ive tolerated Lipitor in the past with absolutly NO side effects.
I just noticed today that i seem to be sore...in my shoulder and neck.... as when I would shrug my shoulders...the muscles there seem sore when I do that.
Now, maybe I did something...? Sat the wrong way, slept the wrong way...
After 7 years of therapy taking Crestor and Tricor (fenofibrate), I, too, started experiencing intense pain in my legs, feet, back, and arms. My Dr. took me off Crestor last month but the pain returned within a few days, although not as intense as it was prior to my stopping Crestor. I took myself off fenofibrate just a couple of days ago and "Wow" what a difference! I can actually sleep at night and notice that the pain is dissipating more and more each day.
Every night I wake up around 3 or 4 in the morning with pain in my left leg. the pain is inside of my leg and reminants throughout my entire leg, I try to change positions to sleep but it dosen't matter what position I try, the pain won't go away and keeps me awake until its time to get up. Once I get up, there is no more pain. I have no pain whatsoever while I am up during the day or evening. It is only at 3 or 4 in the morning when I am trying to sleep.
Could my shortness of breath. weakness and aching be cause by Crestor? I have seen a pulmonary doctor and a cardiologist. They say my heart and lungs are fine.
Hi all,
My father had a triple by pass surgery about 18 months ago, and has been taking Lipitor, Perondopril and Atenolol. He's been getting abnormal hair growth on one side of his leg and back and chest since he's been on Lipitor, and Perondopril. I googled to see what I could find, and found this site saying that Lipitor can cause abnormal hair growth. http://www****.com/ds/lipitor/hair%20growth%20abnormal/
My question is, has anyone else taking Lipitor experience this?

Every night I've been getting leg cramps And they hurt really bad , it started about two weeks ago idk if it has to do with pregnancy though. .., anyone else have this happen to them ?
Since I entered the third trimester I've been getting leg cramps every night. I tried wrapping them, elevating, Tylenol, bananas, etc. In the morning my legs are so sore , I eat bananas like crazy and still every night like clock work. It's bad enough I work evening, now the leg cramps keep me up. Does any one have any suggestions on what I can do to help my poor legs.
Around 30 weeks I started having what was sort of like leg cramps. Did some research and realized it was Restless leg syndrome... They ache and you pretty much have to move them all the time. It was keeping me up at night. But like most pregnancy symptoms, they come and go. I suggest drink lots of water. I mean lots! Just doing that eased alot of my symptoms.
