Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I just walked over to my parents house and found out that my dad is having problems with swelling. His right hand and right foot is swollen and his right arm and leg are both cold. He is on Crestor. He was off of it for awhile and then his cholesterol went up so I put him back on it about 2 or 3 months ago and now he is having this. He is also on a lot of other medication for PHN which is nerve damage from the severe case of shingles he had over 10 years ago. He has also been diagnosed with Parkinson's and is on medication for that as well. I called his Dr. and they said to check him in 2 hours to see if the swelling has gone down. If it hasn't I don't know if they are going to have me bring him in or take him to the ER, because they close at noon today. I'm sure by the time this gets posted, something will have been done by then. But I'm curious to know if anyone else has had this kind of reaction to Crestor. Or is my dad possibly getting ready to have a stroke since it's effecting his right side?! Thanks, Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
