Experiencing Pain From Buttocks Down Both Legs, Type 2 Diabetes, Prescribed Caduet, Causing Muscle Cramps. Possible?
Over the last few months I have been experiencing pain from my buttocks down both legs. I take Diabex and this controlls type 2 diabetes. I take Karveside and my blood pressure remains stable at 70/130. Cholesterol was at 3 and I was prescibed Caduet 5/20. Now my cholesterol is at 2.0. All sounds good. I suspect that Caduet is somehow causing the muscle cramps in my legs. Am I correct in this assumption?

Caduet does not cause muscular pain, in diabetic patient myopathy is very common complain I would advise you to have HbA1c test done, it must be up to 7% (53 mmol) unit may different according to region, drink lots water keep regular habit of exercise have some vitamin supplements take care in diet, take good sleep be mentally happy and healthy, your pain will subside soon have nice day.
