Zocor-Lipitor

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

My computer crashed but I am finally back online trying to catch up.

I thought I would ask all of you if you ever had pain from taking cholesterol

medication. I have had this happen to me twice. Once a few years before I was

diagnosed with RA and now just a week ago. My RA doctor told me my

RA was inactive at the present time but I was still in agony. I asked him

why and he said that this pain was probably OA. I happened to have an

appointment with my primary doc the following week and we were talking

about problems and I told him my bones hurt. Since I had had this same

thing happen to me several years back and since he discovered that the

problem was Lipitor. I came off of Lipitor then and my deep bone ache eased.

Since I have had a recent heart attack I was put back on a cholesterol

medication called Zocor. My dosage was 80 mg. Friends 80 mg. is too

dang much. I think if they had put me on a smaller dose I might not

have had the pain return and could still be having help with the cholesterol.

Just a thought for some of you that might be experiencing unexplained

pain.

Happy Sunday.

Hugs,

Pat
