Suggest Remedy For Chronic Muscle And Joint Pain
I have been on Zocor for years and always had good luck with it, but three weeks back I did eat grapefruit for breakfast for probably a week and then I had a bad reaction. My musels and joints were so sore I could not lift my hands up very high. Now I am going to rehab (3 weeks already} I really have not gotten any results. I do not sleep well at night because of the pain. I was on 40 mg Zocor and now they put me on 20 mg Pravachol. I do not know what to do. My e-mail address is YYYY@YYYY - I will be waiting for an answer. Thanks

Statins are drugs for cholesterol control and not for arthritis, both the drugs you are taking have a lot of side effects also, and you need to watch for that. for your joints pain you need blood tests to find out the cause of your pain, and thus appropriate treatment given.
