Can Crestor Cause Pain In The Hips And Thighs?

I have taken 10 mg of Crestor daily for about 5 years. My cholesterol is quite low with this use. I have also lost 25 pounds and watch my diet eating a lot of vegetable and fruits. For the last month I have had a pain in my thigh/hip. It is muscular pain but seems to originate next to the femur. I asked Dr. about this at my physical 1 month ago and he seemed to blame it on growing old. I am 65 years old and walk 7 miles a day while golfing. I asked my chiropractor about the pain and he seems to think it was referral pain from stenosis in my spine. He also looked at my X-rays and said my hip joints are in good shape. Could this unexplained pain in my hip be caused by Crestor?

Hi,

Creator does not cause hip pain. You can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated to find out what exactly causing hip pain. As of now you can take analgesics like ibuprofen or diclofenac for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
