Bone spur symptoms and conditions

May 2006 I stopped taking Yasmin after being on it for a few years. I was having bad sinus congestion, sinus pressure, headaches and post nasal drip but never thought it was because of Yasmin. I went to a ENT doctor and the tissue in my sinsus cavities was so inflamed he recommended surgery. I also had a deviated septum and bone spur which were corrected. After the surgery (August 2006) I felt great. I exercise A LOT and it was now so much easier because I could breathe without all the fluid buildup. I kept thinking what a miracle the surgery was. March 2007 I started taking Ortho-tricyclen and quickly gained 10lbs in 2 months. I also had mood swings mostly feeling down. But I was still able to run and exercise more than I had in many years. March 2008 I went in for my annual exam and after mentioning my side effects from Ortho-tricyclen my doctor recommended going back on Yasmin since it had worked before. Two days after starting Yasmin my sinus problems and headaches returned. I was so low on energy and my chest felt tight. The only good thing is that I lost my appetite and in one month I lost 7 of the 10 lbs I gained on Ortho. I stopped taking Yasmin this past weekend in the middle of a pack. I am feeling better and have not had a headache this week. I was also able to run yesterday which felt so good. I hadn’t exercised in a month because of my lack of energy and difficulty breathing. Had I not been on it before I would have thought this was just a bad allergy season. I am convinced Yasmin was the cause of all my sinus problems and headaches.

I have had surgery on my elbow for a bone spur and tendon repair, I have a tremendous amount of pain and am not aloud to use my arm for anything for almost 6 to 8 weeks, no lifting, no pullin. no pushing only some writting and am only able to lift the wieght of a coffee cup. This has been very frustrating to me, I have been on vicodin and percacets for almost three weeks and now started Ultracet cause it is "non-narcotic" I am so far having no pain relief and no side affects, all this stuff on this page has actually scarred me but I don't know where all these symptoms are coming from I sure hope it kills the pain in time but this first dose has done nothing for me

In Janyary 2001, I was diagnosised with diabetis. Besides the diebetic medicine the doctor put me on plavic and zocor as a preventative measure as my cholesterol was normal it was always between 160 and 189. I was 66 yrs at that time.

After taking the zocor for six months my legs and feet began to swell and I developed a bone spur in my right heal and could hardly walk. By the end of the year my legs were hurting, tingling, burning , numness and I could not stand on my feet for more than an hour. When I would discuss this with my doctor , he said I probably needed potattisum and calcium.

After a while I began to notice that my purse seemed too heavy for me to carry. I was suffering from depression and it took a lot of effort for me do do anything. I still had no idea that the zorcor was causing the problems. I got a walker to help me walk. My back hurt me so bad when I was on my feet that I found it impossible to keep up with my house work.

I began to have breathing problems, so I was put on oxygen.
I was gaining weight very fast over 103 pounds in three years. I was hungry all the time. I could not open my eyes in the morning. The muscles around my eyes just didn;t want to work. I would have to rub them and sometimes use a wet cloth so that I could get my eyes to open.

As of this year, I am no longer able to do my own shopping, or drive my own car. Using my walker to walk from the front door to the car is painful and leaves me breathless. My son has to help me into the car and buckle me up, while I am trying to catrch my breath. My last blood work showed my cholesterol to be 136. I stopped taking zocor about a month ago after seeing someone on TV that said they could hardly walk from using zocor. I was taking 40 mg daily since 2001.
I am now dependant on a wheel chair to get around the house . Will I ever be normal again and able to walk?

I started taking Fosamax 11-17-02..In three weeks I started experiencing pain in my right toe - light a bunion...then my neck started hurting so bad I bought a special pillow. Then pain my my knees and fingers started hurting so bad I could hardly move them. I stopped taking Fosamax and went to a doctor. MRIs revealed cartiledge tears in my right knee and the bone spur I had ripped my tendon in half in my right shoulder. I had to have 2 operations and have been off work for 2 months. Rotor cudd aurgery was extremely painful and debilitating. Before I took Fosamax I was doing yoga 3 times a week and was feeling great...Now in April, finally my toe is back to normal and my hands and fingers don't hurt - I am convinced Fosamax has been the cause of all these ailments because the inflamation caused by the Fosamax destroyed my knee and shoulder
