is there a statin that does not cause muscle pain?

I took myself off Lipitor after 18 months as I developed muscle pain severe enough to wake me in the night.
Do all statins have this side effect or are there some that don’t?
I do know that ideally it should be my GP
that I ask. However, I live in a rural area and I am stuck with a GP who:
a) examined me for PR bleeding and told me it was “nothing to worry about” 5 days before I had half my cancerous colon removed
b) didn’t monitor my electrolytes balance when I was on diuretics so I spent 2 weeks in a cardiac unit when I collapsed from potassium deficiency
c) spent 3 days telling me my 7 year old son did not have appendicitis, following which I took him to casualty where he
was admitted immediately for perforated appendix.
In these circumstances I want to be as informed as possible BEFORE I see my GP

Chosen Answer:

After reading the write up in the Daily Mail, I have now stopped taking my statin. Mine caused sleeplessness, headaches etc. The Lancet are now saying that statins only benefit men under a certain age and have no benefits at all for women. I am now looking to lower my cholesterol with diet i.e. porridge, almonds, fruit and veg, red wine, garlic and exercise. Also try to grill meats and if you have to use the fryingpan, use a spray oil or olive oil.
I think Doctors are gradually waking up to the fact that statins are being pushed by the big drug companies as they make them milllions each year yet it is being proven that statins do not stop heart attacks and strokes.
Good Luck

is it true that leg muscle pain can sometimes mean your pregnant?

hey ive been having muscle pain in my right leg mostly when I’m laying down for a while. i herd that it could mean your pregnant is this true? or is it just i’m growing?

Chosen Answer:

I have never heard of that! But leg pain could be that your growing or possibly your potassium is low, try eating some bananas or something else that contains a lot of potassium.

I’m about 35 yrs old. Since 2 yrs ago I feel my neck so stiff and muscle sore on my back right below the shoulder. When I turn my head, I feel sore. It feels like the day after we do heavy exercise/lifting. It doesn’t bothers me so much, but it will be better without the pain. What cause that?

How do I differentiate bone pain from muscle pain in a chronic pain situation in my feet?

I have had chronic pain in my feet since I can remember. I have had bone reconstruction surgery to lower the arch in my foot in the hopes that it would relieve some of the pain.

It did not work.

If I cut the circulation off to one of my feet and go numb, and that stops the pain – does that mean it was muscle or the bone that was the cause of the pain?

In otherwords – if I go numb, and the pain stops does that tell me anything about the source of the pain?

Chosen Answer:

I’m afraid not. You’re numb because you’re pinching off a nerve. Nerves carry pain messages from both muscle and bone. Unless you know exactly which nerve your pinching, you can’t target the pain.

Muscle pain???

I feel a muscle pain on one point of my chest whenever I touch it. Yesterday there was this guy who punched me on the chest and we were having a fight, but then I did not really feel the pain after that.

What do you think caused the muscle pain? I am a teenage school boy who carried a dozen of books every day to school and my bag was so heavy!!! And I also carry laptop, files, binder, violin, etc. Moreover, recently I lack sports.

Is the muscle pain dangerous?

Chosen Answer:

BAsed on your story…it might be a trauma due to the punch you received. Check whether you have hematoma or not.

Also , it can be attributed to heavy luggages you carry. Carrying such heavy loads might cause your muscle tissue to be tore. Try to have a locker in your school to leseen your load

If I took carisoprodol (somas) mixed with marijuana, what are the chances of me overdosing?

yeah, so i just got some somas and i have weed, and i was thinkin bout mixing it? is that a good or bad idea? and dont give me the whole “drugs are bad dont do it.” just answer the questions please.

Chosen Answer:

No. How will you overdose on weed?

I have a question. Are you cutting the somas and adding it to the weed? You cant od if you are only using a few somas. How many mgs?

I dont think that would be a good mix though. You should just pop the somas and then smoke. Dont mix it in literally with the weed.

PS drugs are bad.

Is there any way to potentiate Soma (Carisoprodol)? And is there any way to counteract the drowsiness?

These are two separate questions, I’m not asking for a combination of the two lol, that would be very contradictory. Any help would be appreciated.

How to relieve pain from gouts and muscle pain?

My mom has started just yeasterday what looks like a gout on her left elbow and on her left foot. Combined with that she has a lot of muscle pain all over her body. Any advice on how to relieve the pain? Thanks!

Chosen Answer:

Prescription drugs do help in treating your symptoms of aches and pains, but they are still drugs which in itself is the problem. By keeping your body pure, your body can focus on healing without having to first process chemicals, which are sliced and diced by the enzymes in your stomach, leaving very little of the effective ingredients still in tact. This breakdown of chemicals usually leads to a build up of toxins in the liver and essentially can begin poisoning your body over time–recent news headlines prove it.

ReliefMD uses a revolutionary new approach, dedicated to matching and combining the different properties of these oils into a single formula for superior pain relief. And to top it off, ReliefMD is NOT PETROLEUM based. This formula is the most unique combination of plant and nut extracts to give you an effective way to relieve pain.
