simvastatin and back ache

I have also been onTerbi nafine since January In the last month or so I have encountered pins and needles in my arms and legs - worse in the middle of the night; an ache/twitch/Tnderness in my neck - mainly on the left side; digestion problems worse than usual (lot of wind and diarrhoea); great fatigue at times, and a strong feeling of unwellness at times. I also have various tender points on my ribs. Finally - my breasts have become very tender in recent weeks.

“If you are unaware that a patient is on simvastatin and you give either boceprevir or telaprevir, the simvastatin level in the blood can go high and patients can develop muscle breakdown,” said Dr. Jensen. http://www.idse.net//ViewArticle.aspx?

I quit taking the simvastatin last tuesday, and by friday I looked perfectly normal with no steroid cream...... Thanks again for all the help!

Simvastatin has been wdely used by members on this forum including myself. Took it for a few months but not currently taking it at the moment. So yes,Simvastatin, and overall a very healthy diet!!!!

Patients were put on a cholesterol-lowering diet and given one of the medications. After 18 weeks, patients given simvastatin had significantly lower total cholesterol, lower LDL, lower triglycerides, and higher HDL cholesterol levels than those who took pravastatin. The study found that the patients on simvastatin achieved the target LDL level of less than 130, more than those on pravastatin (65 percent on simvastatin versus 35 percent on pravastatin).

I use simvastatin to lower the cholesterol and lisinopril to lower the bp. The lisinopril works w/o the simvastatin and v.v.

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker while lisnopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitor. Both groups of drugs and simvastatin are unlikely to cause erectile dysfunction. However yes, all three of them can cause swelling of ankles. Talk to your doctor. You can change your medications. Among antihypertensives you need to avoid thiazides , beta blockers and alpha blockers. High blood pressure and reduced blood supply to penis can also cause erectile dysfunction.

I have been on 20 mg of simvastatin and 3000 mg niaspan now my ck levels have went from 60 to 295 i could hardly walk .will my levels come down if i lower dose. and reverse damage. i have 12 stents .the rest of my blood work is fine.

My elderly aunt just had to stop simvastatin due to sever back and leg pain. The pain was so bad that she was not steady on her feet, causing her to fall alot. Last monday it go so bad that I had to call her son to come pick her up and take her home with him. They read up on all of her meds called the Dr. he stopped the simvastatin and she is much better now and cont to improve. My husband is on it and has no problems. As with most drugs, they affect people different.

Problem is I think if you can't take one statin you may not be able to take any. But there are other drugs you can try like Niaspan (slow release niacin) and vitorin and so forth. I don't know if you are into changing your diet but if you get a chance watch the video Forks over Knives. It is how a plant based diet can reverse althroschlerosis. My husband's cholesterol was 260, blood pressure was 140/90 and weight 260. He is 6' 2" though.

I can relate on both things, back pain and miscarriage at 20 weeks. I'm 15 weeks and work in a retail environment so I'm on my feet for 8 hours as well, I do get horrible back and tailbone pain after a while.

im 26 weeks pregnant and my god the pain in my hips and back is crazy. dont mean pain think its pregnancy ache. im not even that big.

FTM and 39 weeks tomorrow! the last hour my back has been hurting off and on and seems like it's getting worst. It hurts when I'm walking sitting or laying down. Could this be a sign of labor starting? If so what do I do?

s 45 days of ATT n still now pain is not gone but slightly decreasing but new symtoms have started burning sensation around back and whole both legs parasthesia including back n abdominal region . earlierly i thought it may be due to ISONIEZIDE since it causes peripheral neuritis but parasthesia is gradually increasing n remain all time upto back region .please tell me what to do is there any serious please.

Im 33 weeks pregnant and ive got a pain in left side at the bottom of my back and i feel like i need a wee all the time even after ive been any idea what it is??

I did! And omg it was awful. I changed my bras to a sports bra and started taking baths to relax my back. I'm 32 weeks and still dealing with back ache,.just different areas. Stretching, drinking water and warm baths...

m sorry, i meant to say that we can have miagraines but i personally dont, but do have the same symptoms as mishmack. Sorry brain fog is really bad today!

Hi everyone. I'm 13+5 weeks pregnant. I have really bad back ache and my tummy hurts too. It's not cramping it just aches. Does anyone else have this?

I recently wrenched my back and the pain is so bad that I have to roll out of bed. My research on the issue and talks with other people that has had a back pain problem indicates it takes about 4 weeks....I don't know the specifics of an individual's back problem, but I can state it is very painful. Your father's doctor's comment that it will take a few weeks is encouraging and indicates the back problem has some ability to heal.

I pulleda muscle in my back and the doc said alternate heat and ice for 20 minutes get hubby to give a massage do some yoga. Take tylenol for pain.

That and or try a heating pad and stretch if u can.

That's no good, yeah I think this baby is facing my back it's just a dull annoying cramp, makes it a lot harder too when u have a little one you have to be picking up all the time haah :) but totally worth it :)

I feel so much pressure in my lower tummy and groin sometimes it is impossible to move!

I didn't have back pain quite that early, just super tired. Between weeks 11-15 though, it was awful. My hips started to spread and it was always worse in the am. If you aren't cramping its probably just your body adjusting. Congrats and good luck!
